Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. [Friday] OCT. 21, 1910 [October 21, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Glorious.
Brilliantly clear & bracingly cool
with strong north wind. A typical
late October day.
  Worked on Ball's Hill with
three men only, Bensen, Pat &
Zeb. We cut down a lot of 
trees, chiefly oaks growing on the 
South side of the hill near its
western extremity. Also opened up
some pretty vista views at Birch
Gate. The men worked hard & fast.
Hobbs brought a party of ladies at
noon. A young man with a gun,
from Lexington, appeared at 2 P.M.
Gilbert set him across the river.
Walked to Pine Hill at evening.
Pheasants cackling all day. Saw a
grand old cock fly over the river
& alight in the marsh. He looked
as big as a turkey & his plumage shone
in the sunlight.

Dull.
A cool cloudy day with scarce a
breath of wind. Light showers at evening
Spent day at Balls Hill supervising
the work of five men, James, Harry,
Pat, Bensen & Zeph. We devoted
ourselves chiefly to clearing up the
debris we had made of late.
All the saw logs have been sent rolling
down the hillside at the rear of the
hill all the fire wood has been 
piled either on the hill or at Pine
Park shed, and Pat stayed on after
the others had left & burnt a huge
pile of brush at Birch Gate. At 2 P.M.
James brought word that C. [Caroline Brewster] wished to
talk with me by telephone at Mayflower
Club. I hurried to Farm but when I
called up the Club she was not there
James got her later & she wishes me to
call her again at 2.30 to-morrow.
At 11 A.M. saw a flock of 19 Robins
flying South, very high up evidently migrating
