Ther [Thermometer] Thursday, Mar. 27, 1919 [March 27, 1919] Wea [Weather]
Dull.
  Thin cloudy, calm, mild.
Shrubs of various kinds
including roses, spirea,
Parkman's apple, Syringa
etc. have already unfolded
tiny leaves. As far as
vegetation goes to show it
is one of the earliest Springs
I ever knew.
  Garden Birds. Awakening at
daybreak I heard 2 Robins
in full, continuous, delightful
song - kept up almost
without pause for the next
fifteen minutes. Shortly
afterwards I saw 2 male
Robins on ridgepole of a
neighbor's (Mrs. Bruce's) house
No birds save House Sparrows
seen in garden during day.
  Rose at 11. Spent next
2 hours in Museum. Walter
D. [Walter Deane] with me 12-1. Worked
a little in garden in P.M.

Ther [Thermometer] Friday, Mar. 28, 1919 [March 28, 1919] Wea [Weather]
Stormy
  Rainfall, beginning sometime
last night, continued thru
most of day changing to
snow in lat P.M. when
the temperature fell rather
suddenly to about 32 [degrees], this
being the lowest we have
had for a week or more.
I hope it will not kill
the many unfolding leaves such
as cover the barberry bushes in
front of house with tender
green foliage.
  Garden birds. A Chickadee &
2 [females] Downies [Downy Woodpecker] coming to the
suet; a be-draggled looking
Blue Jay; a nest of House
Sparrows; crows cawing near.
  Spent most of day in
Museum. Wrote a few letters.
Roland Thaxter called in
lat P.M. staying about an
hour. James's last day [?]
