Clear & cool.
 A brilliant day, clear & very cool
with fresh N. [north] wind.
  Spent day about house boat
which is still anchored in front
of my boat house. Jim [?]
our float & did a variety of 
other things. We brought the last
things aboard from the boat house
in preparation for a drop of [?]
soon. I paddled & sailed about
over the flooded meadows trying
my canoe gear to make sure it
was right. There are still many 
things to do to get the boats in order.
Saw a Duck Hawk just after
dinner soaring high overhead. Heard
a Bay breast [Bay-breasted warbler] near Lake House. A
Heron & an Eagle flew over us.
Toads still trilling ceaselessly by 
night & day. One or two Hylas.

Ther. [Thermometer] TUES. JUN. 8, 1909 [Tuesday, June 8, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Clear & cool.
A similar day to yesterday but
even more brilliantly clear & slightly
warmer. Heavy killing frost last
night, Jim tells me. It was very
cold in my cabin at day break.
  Paddled up Lake as far as the
Stone farm, after breakfast, following
all the indentation of the shore.
Some of these little wooded coves
look to-day exactly as they did
thirty five years ago & they are
frequented by many of the same
birds. Spent most of day patching
the canoes which still leak. In late
P.M. Jim got two men to help
him hoist the anchor which had
fouled with a buoy. I had another
paddle after supper. Beautiful
evening, lots of birds singing.
