Clear & cold with N.W. [Northwest] wind

flint.
  In the Garden saw 2 Chickadees, a Flicker

  Had a good night's rest in my own
bed and walked over to Mrs. Scudder's
for breakfast at 7.45. Lunched at
the Deane's with Margie & Walter.
Dined at Mrs. Scudder's at 6.30 and
now at 8.30 am in our house again for
the night & sitting in the den.
  Spent day in Museum clearing out
my desk, rearranging books & trying to
help Billcliffe fix a sliding door which
stuck & squeaked. It runs easily now
but the squeak has not been subdued.

28 [degrees] Fine.
Clear & cold with raging  N.W. [Northwest]

  In the Garden I saw a Chickadee, 
a Golden-crest, A Fox Sparrow, a Flicker
and 2 Blue Jays. Percy reports seeing 2
Flickers there. The Fox Sparrow was no doubt
the same bird noted on 18th, 19th
& 20th. He may have been here ever
since & overlooked. He was in the
birch grove this morning.
  Spent day in Museum going over letters
& papers, destroying most & filing some.
Billcliffe working on sliding door &
book shelves. Gilbert brought my
lunch from Mrs. Scudder's where I
had breakfast & dinner, sleeping
again in my own room at home.
