was the winding river, the opposite high hills stood out
prominently, dark and frowning.  At O.G. we crossed the river

December 27, 1902.  A short trip alone to Brooklyn and
vicinity, returning by way of Pumphrey's and the A & B S.L.
It was about 10 o'clock when I left home. It was cold
and the ground was covered with snow, which fell late
Christmas Eve. Our cold wave has lasted now several days.  Spring
Garden is not frozen, but the river <s>was</s> is comletely cover[ed] with ice.
I had intended looking up a few Club Mosses, but as there was
so much snow decided not to enter the woods, but  keep on 
the road.  Nothing particularly interesting was noted until I came 
near P's station where I found several birds and was fortunate
enough to see a cat-bird eating the berries of Celastrus scandens.
Quite close to the station at the branch I found Clematis Virginiana;
there were several plants.  Reaching P. I started homeward.
