  To Harvard Square for hair cut at

Spent two hours at our office
where I saw Arthur, Galloupe &
Darling. After lunching at Marston's
went to Fottler, Fisk & Rawson's [Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co.] where
I saw wonderful display of
dahlias & ordered some for next spring.
  Next called at Park, Pollard store [Park & Pollard Co.] 
Took 2.40 train to Concord where
Gilbert [Robert A. Gilbert] motored me to Farm.
Strolled around there until sunset.

Ther [Thermometer] Friday, Sept. 10, 1915 [September 10, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fine.
Cloudless & intensely hot with,
however, a rather fresh & cool N.W. [northwest]
breeze blowing thro. [through] most of day.
  Heard Warblers & Thrushes (Veeries,
I thought) calling overhead about 10
o'clock last night but there seemed
to [be] almost no migrants about our
Farm to-day. I heard one or
two Warblers chirping in tops of
leafy trees & saw a [female] Black-thr.
Blue [Black-throated Blue Warbler] in shrubbery close to house.
Of local birds I saw only 2 Robins,
3 Chippies [Chipping Sparrow] & a Crow. Heard a
Chickadee, a Nuthatch, 2 Goldfinches,
one or two Jays. Screech Owl wailing
near house at 7.30 P.M.
  Burbank & I spent forenoon
setting out irises and picking
peaches. Of the latter we got
about 4 bushels, all very large
& handsome & of delicious flavor.
  In afternoon rambled about place
doing this & that. Three men working
on road to Bungalow.
