Concord, May 26, 1904.
A.M. clear & intensely hot.
P.M. oppressively sultry with a procession of
thunder showers - no less than four of them, one
accompanied by heavy rain & incessant lightning.
  Spent day working in the flower garden
with Hansen & Pat. It is now in "apple pie"
order with practically everything finished & most
of the flower seeds up.
  The northern migrants appear to have all
departed & all us summer birds are now here.
The woods are in full leaf. Tree toads spawning
& very clamorous. Hylas have become silent the past few 
days.
