Ther [Thermometer] Wednesday Feb. 3, 1915 [February 3, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Dull
Dark cloudy, cold & windy with
occasional flurries of snow flakes.
  In Garden: 2 Flickers (both [males]) eating
Parkmann's apple at same time, one
in tree, the other on surface of snow
under it's outermost twigs. Saw a 
solitary crow fly low through Jungle.
House Sparrows seem to have deserted
the place altogether - as they almost
always do during heavy or protracted
snow storms in mid winter.
  The Log Cock story is finished at
last. After working on it all forenoon
I could find no more to add so
returned to Sapsucker story, which
was left somewhat incomplete,
and wrote a couple of pages for
it in afternoon.
  Spent evening in hall with C. [Caroline Brewster]
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] and Victrola music, as usual.

Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, Feb. 4, 1915 [February 4, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Clear and cold with light northerly
wind.
  In Garden: heard a Jay screaming
and saw a Flicker in Parkmann
apple tree feasting on its ice-coated
fruit. For everything out-of-doors
is clad in icy mail and has been
since Monday last. A few
House Sparrows are back again in
our shrubbery & looking rather
disconsolate there.
  Worked all day on Sapsucker 
story compiling from Umbagog notes
and writing three or four pages
of matter thus derived.
  Miss Bishop dined with us
and afterwards went with C. [Caroline Brewster] to
Symphony Concert in Sanders Theater,
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] & I remained at home & had
a Victrola concert in hall. She also
read aloud from Crawford's "Prima Donna"
It is one of the novels known to me.
