Fair
Forenoon cloudy with chill S.W. [southwest] wind
Afternoon sunny with warm [southwest wind]
  Night-hawk speaking at evening
in distance, beyond Berry Pasture &
2 Whippoorwills singing in same
direction at same time.
Farm birds singing well in late
P.M. especially 2 Robins & a Cat bird.
No Grosbeaks lately. Doubt if
any are breeding anywhere within
our boundaries. The Jays have
probably banished them completely
at last. I heard them everywhere
in Concord Village shade trees
a week or so ago.
  Walked to Birch Field & Prescott
pines after breakfast. Spent
remainder of forenoon working
in flower beds about house.
Wrote letters & slept for almost
2 hours in P.M. i am still
"dog tired" all the time.
