Saw three Crows fly over the lawn

  My bulbs are behaving badly.

daffodils are very good, however.

  Wea. [Weather] Wed. Wednesday] Jan. 25, 1905 [January 25, 1905] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Heaviest snow storm of the winter
thus far, the wind blowing a gale from
the N.E. [northeast] & drifting the snow so badly
that its depth can only be guessed at.
Probably at least a foot has fallen during
the day.
  Worked morning & afternoon on the
 Cambridge List. No callers until
evening when Batchelder, Goodale, W. Deane,
Jeffries, Townsend, Rand, Thaxter, Jackson & Spelman
came to my "We Dine" dinner, Chadbourne alone
being absent. C. [Caroline] had provided a wonderful
centre piece for the table, a zinc tank buried in
ferns & mosses & half full of water in which were
4 live young Ducks besides Goldfish & Polly wogs [Pollywogs].
