Wea. [Weather] Tues. [Tuesday] June 23, 1908 Ther. [Thermometer]
Partly cloudy with light shower at 10 A.M.
Cooler with wind from S.E. [southeast] cloudy evening.
  Spent entire day about the Frenches' 
place. In the forenoon went with Dan
to his studio on the hillside above spring, 
where we found Heber at work on 
a statue of [?]. In afternoon Dan
worked on a cement bench in woods
behind big studio. A feast of bird song
here from a Robin, Wood Thrush, Veery,
Tanager, Wood Pewee etc. We sat on piazza
through evening. Hosts of fire flies out. No
night sounds - not even a Whippoorwill. 

Wea. [Weather] Wednesday 24 [June 24, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
90 [degrees]
Forenoon sunny & intensely warm
Terrific thunder shower in afternoon lasting
over two hours (3-5) with crashing
volleys of thunder & heavy rain. I do
not recall ever witnessing so prolonged
& violent a storm before.
  Spent most of forenoon writing.
Dan began to work on his cement seat
in the woods after lunch but he & I
were soon driven in by the storm.
We remained in the studio during most
of it. I saw Robins feeding on the lawn
while it was nearly at its worst.

Wea. [Weather] Thur. [Thursday] June 25, 1908 Ther. [Thermometer]
Clear & cool with high N.W. [northwest] wind.
  Spent most of forenoon in the
studio reading. Dan departed for
Worcester (to see the Hoar Statue unveiled)
just after lunch. I worked for a couple 
of hours with Tom Knight clearing away
brush under some large trees near the
pasture gate. After that I walked
to Mc.Intosh's place. On the way back
visited Dan's pine woods across the
roadway. As usual there were many birds
there. Miss Virginia Field took tea with us.

Wea. [Weather] Friday 26 [June 26, 1908] Ther. [Thermometer]
Brilliantly clear with light N. [north] wind.
Cool through day & very cool at evening.
  Spent most of forenoon in the
pine woods across the road. Sat under
a tree for a couple of hours writing.
  In afternoon walked to Hager's Pond.
It has not been much injured as yet by
the woodcutters. It seemed fairly alive 
to-day with Painted Tortoises on logs &
swimming about. Started two broods of
young Partridges as big as Pigeons. They were
less than 50 yards apart. I feast on wild 
strawberries daily. Dan returned at 10.30 P.M.
