scanned carefully with the hope of finding Trisetum [angustifolium].
although seen but a week or two ago I could not <s>see</s> find it to-day.
Our idea in going down the avenue was mainly to cut through
Gwinn's [Gwynn's] woods and again see the pretty Lilium Philadelphicum;
which was first found last year.  Before reaching the end of the
stone wall we entered a path, but soon returned, seeing at once
that it was not the path we wanted.  At the end of the 
stone wall we found the right path and walking in a short
distance we found the lilies.  But 3 plants were found where
last year were more than a dozen.  We marked the spot, then again
followed the path, this time very closely for we wished to
learn where it terminated.  On former occasions we invariably
lost the trail.  We soon came to a fallen tree.  As 
we crossed it, we stopped a moment to rest on its prostrate
trunk.  What a delightful resting-place it proved to
be!  Here we were in such a beautiful nook, surrounded
on all riders by nature's handiwork, man no-where
had interfered.  We longed to remain longer, but contented
ourselves by saying that we must not forget this charming
place and pay it a visit again in the near future.
