not touch Niagaras. With some

Stormy
  Heavy N.E.[northeast] rain storm through
forenoon followed in after noon by
succession of tremendous showers
with some thunder & calm, sultry

  Spent day clearing out the 
Bungalow with Zeph, Tom & George,
removing from the the garret a vast
amount of rubbish, the accumulation
of many years, burning what was 
worthless & storing the rest in
other places, to prepare the building
for Burbanks' occupancy. Saw
Lawrence's gray cat trot past with
a Chipmunk in her mouth - the
last, I fear, left on the place, the
cats having caught about all of them.
Gray Squirrels [?], Reds fairly
numerous. Hordes of White-throats
in grape vines & [?]. Yellow
rumps [yellow-rumped warblers] over roof.
