Glendale
Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. [Friday] JULY 9, 1909 Wea. [Weather]
Clear & cool
Still another brilliantly clear day
a trifle warmer than yesterday.
  Spent forenoon in studio
writing letters. Dan gave
me a sitting after dinner working
on my portrait nearly 2 hours &
practically finishing it. It seems
very good. At 4 P.M. we started
out for a walk. Went through the
hemlock pasture to Hagers Pond.
which struck me as more beautiful
than ever. Returned around the W. [West]
side of Grove Hill. Saw 2 Cooper's
Hawks in pine woods near pond, one
an adult [female] the other a young bird
just out of nest. Heard 3 Hermits.
  Spent evening in studio, Dan
playing pianola. The young people
off on a picnic. 

Glendale - Concord.
Ther. [Thermometer] SAT. [Saturday] JULY 10, 1909 Wea. [Weather]
Sunny.
Sunny but hazy with thin clouds.
Still cool with fresh S.W. [Southwest] wind.
Birds singing freely in early morn.
  Left Glendale by 10.27 train. Spent
over an hour at Pittsfield lunching
there. Took 12.16 train for Boston
arriving 4.45. No signs of injury to 
trees by insects until we reached Newton.
Crossed city to North Station & waited
there over an hour getting supper.
Took 6.21 train for W. Bedford [West Bedford]. 
Gilbert met me at boat house &
took me to Ball's Hill. It has changed
little since I saw it last. The gypsy 
caterpillars have stripped the oaks
on its crest but lower down & especially
on river bank the foliage is still
dense. Saw large acres of woodland
in Bedford completely stripped.
