Fine
Clear & cool with light variable
wind, mostly easterly. Very cool at
morn & eve. when we had brisk
open fires in two rooms. Crops
growing scarce at all despite abundant
moisture.
 Birds singing freely all day. Robins
at least twice as numerous as in
May & early June. They sang
gloriously from early morn to late eve.
I heard at least 3 near house, two
in Berry Pasture, one at Ritchie place,
one in Birch field. I must have
seen not less than 15 adults besides
several young. They do not seem to be
eating either cherries or strawberries.
  Spent most of day working in
flower garden, with Burbank & [delete]Zeph[/delete] George.
We weeded it thoroughly. Walked
to Berry Pasture, Ritchie place &
Birch Field in late P.M. Gilbert [Robert A. Gilbert]
went to Cambridge for day to motor
C. [Caroline Brewster] to Brookline & Jamaica Plain.

Fine
Clear & cool with fresh N.W. [northwest]
wind. Almost frosty last night.
  The Robin chorus to-day surpassed
anything I have heard here for years.
It lasted throughout the day. From
5 to 7.30 P.M. at least five birds
were singing ceaselessly within fifty
yards of the house with others heard
more faintly further off.
  The Orioles were feeding young in the
nest over the shed coming & going alternately.
Both sexes sang freely & used precisely
the same set of song notes. They always
flew afar off in quest of food.
  Duren & Wallace sprayed the elms
close about our house this morning
& then went to Pine Park to spray
along road to Bensen's landing.
I was with them here until 11.
  Mrs. Melvin called just after
dinner & Jack Nichols at 4 P.M.
I did some gardening between times.
