Cloudy & cool with light E. [East] wind
  Spent day in Museum writing 
letters. Took several walks in the
Garden. It is charming now with the
trees covered with fresh young foliage &
the lilacs, dogwood & pink hawthorn
in bloom. Some of the earlier German
irises are in flower as are several
of the azaleas, and the single, white
May roses. There are still violets
of three colors, Actea & Mandrake,
the Stellata Solomon's seal & a few
others but most of the herbaceous wild
flowers of Spring have gone by. Of birds
we hear more than usual, a pair of 
Catbirds (the [female] a superb singer)
2 pairs of Robins, 2 pairs Chippies, pair
of Yellow Warblers, a Red eyed  & a Yellow thrt.
Vireo [yellow-throated vireo], pair of Orioles, Yellow bill Cuckoo, aa
