Stormy
Warm rain with southerly wind. 
Sun out at 2.30, after that more
rain in showers. Altogether an
April-like day. Hardly any ice left.
Snow wholly gone. Crocuses, squills
etc. pushing up sprouts front of 
Museum but nothing in flower yet. 
House bulbs making a brave show
now - especially tulips & hyacinths.
  Garden birds. A pair of Kinglets
flitting about in their dainty fashion in
shrubbery front of museum, the [male]
showing flaming orange crown patch very
conspicuously. I remember seeing precisely
same thing in this same garden at least
fifty years ago. Two Crows cawing.
  Spent forenoon in Museum working
on Hummingbird story which C. [Caroline Brewster] type copied
in house. I did not accomplish much. 
Went in town after luncheon. met
Judge Abbott by chance at our office
Galloupe had made out my Income
Tax return which I signed.
  Home by 6. E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read me Diva's Ruby this [?]

Fair
Thin cloudy with occasional
gleams of sunshine and frequent
flurries of big, fleecy snow flakes
settling sparsely and lightly on
ground hard frozen over night. 
A harsh north westerly wind
  Garden birds: A Purple Finch
warbling sotto voce, 2 Jays screaming
lustily, Crows cawing in distance,
10 or 12 House Sparrows flitting
about. 
  Although feeling rather "seedy",
because of an on-coming cold,
- the first of the winter for me -
I put in a full day's work at 
my desk in the Museum,
composing rather more than two
pages of introductory matter for
Hummingbird story, thereby finishing
it, and then compiling almost
two pages on the Kingbird.
Supped alone & read afterwards;
C. [Caroline Brewster] & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] at their Bee.
