South Yarmouth.
Ther. [Thermometer] SUN. AUG. 20, 1911 [Sunday, August 20, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Brilliantly clear & pleasantly cool with
fresh N.W. [northwest] wind. A glorious day.
The Stones, Mary Lewis & I set forth on
a walk to Long Pond at 10 A.M. We
went the usual way through the woods &
past the smaller pond ( ) where
surface was dotted rather thickly with
dwarf white water lilies and whose
grassy & mossy shores were bespeckled almost
everywhere with blossoms of Sabbatia,
Coreopsis roseus & Rhexia the latter most
abundant & very fine.This is a veritable
little gem of a pond with its setting of
wild flower garden & pine clad hills.
Long Pond was equally beautiful in many 
ways but we saw no flowers there, only
great buds of tall bullrushes. We got back
just in time for dinner at 1.
At 5.30 we went to the Donald's to take
part in the chorus hymn singing. At 6
we went out in the canoe excircling
the marsh island. It was beautiful
but windy. At 8 we called on Mrs.
Hallowell but she was ill & did not see us.
South Yarmouth - Boston- Cambridge.
Ther. [Thermometer] MON. AUG. 21, 1911 [Monday, August 21, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Brilliantly clear with light W. [west] wind.
Rather warm through sunlit hours.
At breakfast time a Hummingbird joined
the Black Swallow-Tailed & Monarch Butter-
flies at the 'bouncing bets" just outside
the door. Not long before this a Chickadee
had been whistling phoebee in the willows.
  I left the Stones at 9 A.M. & took the 
10 o'clock train to Boston arriving at 
12.20. Lunched at "Bunch O'Grapes"
& spent hour at office where I saw 
Galloupe & Darling & Sted Buttrick. Came
out home at 2.30. Nancy had house
open but Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert] is off on vacation.
Spent half hour in Garden & Jungle.
Saw 2 Robins, a Swift & a Flicker & heard
a Red-eye [red-eyed vireo] singing fully. There was also
a Warbler which kept uttering a very sharp
metallic chirp & looked like a Tennessee. It
was restless & shy but I got a rather good 
view of it through glass & saw that it it had
ver greenish upper parts, whitish under parts
& plain wings & tail. Glover Allen came 
[margin]up this evening & spent an hour talking.[/margin]
