Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Oct. 23, 1915 [October 23, 1915] Wea [weather]
Henry Oldys arrives  Fine
Clear & cold with harsh &
violent N.W. [northwest] wind. Rather hard
freeze last night. All tender
vegetation killed. Oak foliage turned
suddenly dull russet & leaves falling
freely - after have shown no vivid
coloring anywhere this autumn.
  Spent most of day supervising 
work of two carpenters who
finished lean-to at Bungalow
and of Zeph who cut a lot of young
elms in lower end of Berry Pasture
where I remained from 10 A.M.
to noon marking out a new
wood path that promises to be very 
attractive. Timmy started 3 old cock
Pheasant & drove 2 of them directly over
me but I had no gun. Took the 20 g. [gauge]
with me in late P.M. flushing a hen
Pheasant & 2 Partridge but did
not shoot at any of them.
  Henry Oldys arrived about 5 P.M.
to pass night. We spent long evening
by parlor fire & had a glorious talk.

Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Oct. 24, 1915 [October 24, 1915] Wea [weather]
Fine
Clear & cool but without the chill
of yesterday. Moderate westerly wind.
Altogether a fine autumnal day.
  Oldys & I spent two hours
after breaking talking by morning room
fire. We finally set out for a walk
going first to Birch Field & thence
through Berry Pasture. Started 5
Partridges and 2 Cock Pheasants. Saw
almost no small birds, save 1 Hermit
Thrush, in woods. There were upwards
of a dozen Juncos, almost as many
Robins & several White-throats [White-throated Sparrow], in
the lane.
  Motored to Concord at 1 P.M.
leaving Oldys to eat a solitary
luncheon before starting for Worcester.
I dined at the Whites with George
& Marjorie, Barbara Carter, Sally
& her husband. We had a good
smoke in parlor afterwards. 
  Called at the Emerson's on way back
seeing Mr. & Mrs. Alicia Keyes &
Amelia Emerson.
  Timmy rather ill this evening.
