Snow still 
djj^ in the 
woods 
jin the Barrett woods the snow lies three o r four 
not 
feet deep in many places —/in isolated drifts but in field s, 
s eres in extent but only, of course, in densely shaded 
spots. Almost everywhere in the shade the ground is still 
frozen as hard as iron. 
-^On my way home at evening I saw nothing of any 
interest. The sky was threatening and the wind damp and 
chilly. No birds were singing^
