Brilliantly clear & delightfully
warm with fresh S.W. [Southwest] wind.
  Spent day at the Farm

James pick apples chiefly Baldwins.
Harry got nearly seven barrels of
them from our tree in flower garden.
Hardly any of them show trace of
either curculio or "railroading".
Lots of birds about, the place
chiefly Robins, Chippies, White throats
& Purple Finches. A young Sapsucker
in orchard. Saw him make three 
holes of a circular series about trunk
of apple tree. Jim Melvin came
with his auto at 3 P.M. & took
Purdie & me to see the Robbinses.
We saw Mr. & Mrs. R. & their daughter.
