Ther [Thermometer] MON. SEPT. 22, 1913 [Monday, September 22, 1913] Wea [Weather]
Stormy
Torrential rain coming in an
endless succession of heavy showers
which flooded roads & left ponds
in hollows in fields but between
which the sun sometimes shone dimly.
The south-west wind at times blew a
furious gale breaking of [off] branches from
the wildly tossing trees. The air was
oppressively warm & humid.
  If there were many birds about
I failed to see or hear them.
Five Robins flying low, several
Goldfinches calling sweetly, a
dozen Chippies [Chipping Sparrows] in the millet, a Song
Sparrow & a White-throat bathing,
were all I remember noting.
  Spent most of day close about
house planting bulbs etc. between
showers.  Jim M. [Jim Melvin] came down
soon after breakfast for an hour.
[margin] Walked thro [through] Berry Pas [Pasture] at eve.[evening]. Tree Crickets in full chorus there.
[?] this fall in heavily sprayed foliage near house. [/margin]
