Concord (Farm & Ball's Hill)
Ther [Thermometer] SUN. OCT. 26, 1913 [Sunday, October 26, 1913] Wea [Weather]
Stormy.
Continued heavy rain falling
almost ceaselessly from morning
to evening & all last night. It
has swelled our deepest wells, set
the Berry Pastures brook to flowing
& thereby filled our pond, flooded
much of the river meadows &
made the grass lands brilliantly
green even on the dryest slopes.
Thus has one of the severest & longest
droughts on record finally ended.
  Spent forenoon in & about house.
A dozen or more Robins & half
as many White-throats [White-throated Sparrows] there.
  Walked to Ball's Hill via Birch
Field & Pine Hill & back via 
Holden's Hill in P.M. Saw a 
few Juncos & heard a Creeper at B.H. [Ball's Hill].
Titlarks & a Marsh Hawk on wing
Started 4 Partridges near foot of
lawn & 1 at Ball's Hill
