Concord  April 4, 1904.
  Clear with light N. W. [northwest] to W. [west] wind. Warm at
noon and afternoon. Got very cold last night
forming ice fully an inch in thickness on our horse tub. 
  Spent day on the farm working with the men. 
We cleaned up a lot of debris and began a long
bed for planting in the lane. Walked to Ritchie
place at evening. A Dove cooing in woods below
the farm orchard & two Woodcock pumping & one
of them singing in the berry pasture. Fox Sparrows
still very numerous about the place. A Partridge
drumming on the wall in front of run in A.M.
