Ther [Thermometer] FRI. DEC. 5, 1913 [Friday, December 5, 1913] Wea [Weather]
Fine
Clear, calm, mild. Grass on our 
lawns now as vividly & universally
green as it ever is in May or June &
it seems to be growing fast. I am
actually wondering it may not have
to be cut with the lawn mower soon.
  5 Chickadees spent most of day in
Garden visiting suet in rapid succession
over & over again. White-throated Sparrow
with Warbler chirp back again & with
him a Junco. Saw also a Flicker &
a Jay in Garden & a Gull flying over.
  Spent forenoon in Museum trying to
finish Concord notes. Interrupted by Zeph
who brought down load of pines with
Percy & Gilbert absent - so I had to
entertain him until luncheon time.
A Mr & Mrs. Brown came by apptment [appointment]
at 2 & stayed an hour. She writes under
name of Ruth Cameron & proposes to write
me up. I consented reluctantly. We had
usual reading in hall this evening.
