Glendale - Concord.
Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, June 13, 1914 Wea [Weather]
First ripe cherries & strawberries Fine
Clear & comfortably cool with
light northerly wind.
  Dan [Daniel Chester French] & I strolled about the place
after breakfast & spent half an
hour sitting on the bench in Studio
woods. It was very beautiful &
restful there with rich sunlight
streaming through the trees & many
birds singing, among them Nashville W. [Nashville Warblers]
  I said goodbye to the family at
10.30 & motored to the station to
catch 10.45 train for Pittsfind [Pittsfield] where
I had lunch & then journeyed 
homeward in 12.13 train. In smoking
room of parlor car had interesting
talk with large handsome man who
lives near Nairobi, British E. Africa [British East Africa]
& with whom Roosevelt spent several 
weeks when there. He knows Mearns, also
Percy met me at South Station.
Took 5.12 train for Concord where
Gilbert met me & motored me to farm.
First ripe strawberries.

Concord (Farm & Ball's hill)
Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, June 14, 1914 Wea [Weather] 
Fine
Brilliantly clear with fresh cool north
wind changing to east & we. [west] & clouds gathering [?].
  Birds singing freely & generally every where
all day. It was for this reason, no
doubt, that they seemed more numerous
than at any time in May, especially near
Ball's Hill. At the Farm I noted all
the species settled here in late May except the
Wood Pewee, which was either gone or silent,
& the Yellow-billed Cuckoo. A Grosbeak,
added to the choir since June 3, was
singing gloriously in the early morning.
Robins seem rather scarcer than they
were. The bird that built the untidy
nest under eaves of barn is incubating there
All the Tree Swallows still at their nests
at Farm, Ritchie's pl. [Ritchie place] & Bensen's pasture,
six pairs in all. Two Wrens singing at
Farm & one at Ritchie's place. 
  Walked to Ball's Hill & back via Birch F. [Birch Field]
in forenoon. Found few signs of gypsy
moth devastation save behind Blakeman Ridge.
Raymond Emerson called at noon to look at
Ritchie house. Spent afternoon visiting
& strolling about Farm.
