First snow-fall Stormy
About 2" [inches] of damp snow fell overnight
whitening entire face of country & loading every
twig in woods & thickets. Most of it had melted
by mid-afternoon. Light rain fell at intervals
through day. Intensely chilly N.E. [northeast] wind blowing
fitfully.
  At least 25 Juncos in millet. One or two
Tree Sparrows with them. A [male] Downy [Downy Woodpecker] at
suet. Chickadee heard. Pheasant tracks in
Cedar Park. Northern Shrike perched on
tree top near Ritchie house in full song at
noon. Seldom have I heard one sing
longer, louder or more melodiously.
Because of its "margin of silence" the bird's
voice was peculiarly pleasing. Besides
the prolonged series of sweet, mellow notes
- given in the usual halting, interrupted manner -
there were occasionally odd jarring & creaking
outbursts - filling in the intervals.
  Spent forenoon mostly in house rearranging
books, papers etc. & burning a lot of trash.
Also went about outside with Burbank 
  Left Farm at 3.18 P.M. & motored to Cambridge
via Lexington, reaching home at 4.30 where a
White-throat [White-throated Sparrow] was chirping in Garden. Lizzy Fuller
[margin]called at 7.30. Otherwise I spent a solitary evening.[/margin]

Perfect.
Sky perfectly cloudless & rich violet blue,
seasonably cool yet not frosty air scarce 
stirred by any wind. Grass on city lawns
still bright green & a few flowers lingering
on.
  In Garden: a Chickadee (heard), a Junco,
2 White-throats [White-throated Sparrow], several House Sparrows and
a Flicker.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] came out from Boston to spend day
arriving at 10.50. We first walked about
garden with the dogs and then had a 
long talk. After that we dressed for dinner
at which our guests were Mrs. Sawyer,
Mary Greenough, Clara Howe, Susy Willard,
George V. Leverett & Frank Manning.
We had two Turkeys (7 & 8 lbs.) reared
this year at the Farm & various other
things from there. Mary G., & Clara H. left
soon after dinner. The others stayed on
- Frank & Leverett until 6.30. C. went
back at 5.30. I have just had supper alone.
