38º min. [minimum] Fine.
Cold last night but very warm to-day
with strong S.W. [Southwest] wind.
  No arrivals noted & no marked increase
in the numbers of our local summer
birds since the 13th. In fact I doubt
if there has been any flight since then.
Apple trees shedding their blossoms
but a few are still in full bloom.
  Will Stone left me by the early 
train (7.36 W. Bedford [West Bedford]). I walked
to the station with him. Soon
after my return to the cabin James
came with the wagon & moved
Gilbert & a lot of things to Farm.
I lingered an hour later to plant
flower beds & water planted things.
Got to Farm at 10.45. Did a lot
of watering there. Took up Purdie's
plant (the type) of Concord fern &
replanted it in same place in fresh
wet earth. Kerosined caterpillars nests [Kerosened caterpillar's nests]
in late P.M. My new Stella Maris
canoe came to-day from Robertson.
