18 [degrees] Fine
  Clear and cold but nearly
or quite windless, with fine
dry, bracing wintry air
having no chill to it.
  Garden birds. 4 Chickadees,
a screaming Jay, upwards of
30 House Sparrows in poultry
yard.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] came up at noon when
we went to the hen house
to look for fresh laid eggs,
finding only three this time.
While there I saw the birds
noted above & enjoyed the
pure, dry air & glad sunshine.
After luncheon we had
Victrola music for half a
an hour. C. went back to
Ware Hall by motor at 4.
E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] read Locke's story
after supper. No callers to-day
- not even my doctor

  Still another sunny, windless
& just pleasingly frosty day.
Of late the midwinter has been
singularly prolific in such
seasonally perfect weather. It is
a real blessing even to those of 
us who cannot enjoy it freely
out of doors.
  Garden birds. A Chickadee, at
least 30 House Sparrows in
hen yard, a screaming Jay.
  Had breakfast in bed & did not
leave it until 11 A.M. Dressing
then I spent next two hours
in E.R.S.'s [Elizabeth R. Simmons] chamber where she
& I sat by the bay window
sunning ourselves & chatting.
  Just before luncheon I went
alone into the garden & strolled
about there awhile. Read and dozed
in P.M. Dr. Stevens called at 6.
E.R.S. read aloud after supper.
