Wea. [Weather] Fri. Oct. 26, 1906 [Friday, October 26, 1906] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Brilliantly clear with light W. [west] wind.
Warm at midday, cool at evening.
  Spent A.M. at farm house. The
men finished the foundation wall of 
the extension to the shed & the
carpenters had the floor laid by night.
In P.M. I went to Birch Field
with five men and opened a road
through from there to Bensen's setting 
up two birch bar ways. Saw a
number of birds about the farm
but nothing of much interest.

  Partly cloudy Wind E. [east] in A.M., S.W. [southwest]
in P.M. Very warm. Tree Crickets
chirping everywhere at evening.
  Drove to Concord this morning
& met E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] at the manse. She
consulted me about cutting down &
planting trees. I drove her to the
Emersons' & then went to Auger's Mill
to order some slabs. Got back at noon.
Spent P.M. in Pulpit Rock woods
with Charlie & Bensen & his men.
We cut down more trees & extended
a wood road to Birch Field.

  Brilliantly clear with strong W. [west] wind.
Just pleasantly cool. A perfect day.
  Spent forenoon alone rambling about
in Birch Field & Prescott's pines. Went
over the farm with James just after
dinner. Later walked to Ball's Hill
where I found Farley & Bailey of
the Gypsy Moth Comm. [Gypsy Moth Committee] with Forbush.
I sat talking with them for half an
hour & then walked home in the 
twilight. The oak leaves falling to-day.
Maples & birches already bare.

Wea. [Weather] Monday 29 [October 29. 1906] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Clear & cool with strong N.W. [northwest] wind.
  To Cambridge by 8.13 train which
Gilbert & I took at West Bedford.
The walk to Ball's Hill was delightful
in the crisp morning air. Met C. [Caroline]
at the house where with Gilbert's help
I packed up all my clothes & things
to go to Mrs. Scudder's. It was sad work.
  Went to Boston at noon. Found
Leander at our office. Called at 216
Washington St. where I saw Dimick &
Kimball. Came back to Concord by 4.47
train crossing river at Ball's Hill &
walking to the farm.
