Concord, May 27, 1904
  Forenoon calm & oppressively hot. A heavy
thunder shower at noon. Afternoon clear with cool
west wind.
  Spent A.M. working in the flower garden &
close about the house, P.M. weeding the
wild garden just east of the barn. Walked
to Ritchie place & the Berry Pasture at evening.
Set out two plants of Rhododendron maximum
received from Mason, N.H. [New Hampshire] putting them in
the Barrett run near the roadway.
