Clear
Clear & warm with light W. to S.W. [west to southwest]
winds. Heavy frost again last night.
  Before the wind rose this morning
we moved the house boat to a new
anchorage sculling & poling her across
the river & flooded meadow to the first 
deep cove west of Lake House. It is
a charming little nook nearly land-
locked with a wooded island at its
mouth. Its shores are everywhere densely
wooded largely with spruce, balsam
& arbor vitae. There is one fine tall
sapling pine at water's edge. Birds
abundant here mostly woodland species
including Pileated Woodpeckers, Broad- wing
Hawks [Broad-winged Hawks] & Bay-breast Warbler [Bay-breasted Warbler]. Two
Muskrats, one absolutely fearless of 
us & our boats. Spent most of day
in house boat. Out sailing in
canoes etc morning & evening. A first
mosquito appeared to day.

Ther. [Thermometer] THURS. JUNE 10, 1909 [Thursday, June 10, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Partly cloudy.
Forenoon sunny and warm with
light S.W. [southwest] wind. Afternoon cloudy
with fresh S. E. [southeast] wind.
  Starting at 8 & getting back at 9 A.M.
I walked through Ryerson's pastures
and the old wood road to the
Stone farm. Both pasture & wood
road have greatly changed river the
old collecting days. The pasture is
grown up to balsams & spruces 25
feet high and the wood road has
been in [demand?] while most of the
large trees on both sides of it have been
cut. Nevertheless I saw or heard
nearly as many birds as of yore.
Spent remainder of day tinkering [with]
the sailing canoes & trying them
under sails. Sailed across the
meadows many times, even after sunset.
