Ther [Thermometer], Saturday, June 10, 1916  Wea [Weather]
Stormy
  North-easter raging with increased
violence under darkly lowering sky.
Rain unceasing at times so heavy
that broad [ponds?] of surface water
filled hollows in our garden paths.
The thermometer stood about 50 [degrees]
all day. All our rooms very chilly
save where open fires were alight
& fed with abundant fuel.
  In Garden: an Oriole, a Jay
and at least 3 male Robins, the 
last-named all singing at once
& near together in late P.M. their
voices uniting in a delightful
chorus such as has rarely been
heard here in recent years.
  Spent entire day in house &
Museum, writing letters etc.
Usual Victrola concert in hall
this evening. Garden irises at
their best & making a brilliant 
show.
