Steady rain all day the morning, clouds and dampness in the afternoon.
Mercury 62° {degrees}, 9 A.M.; 58°, 6 P.M.; 57°, 8 P.M.

Our various driving trip were abandoned owing
to the rain. I went to church with the family
and heard Mr. Atwood preach. After church I
called on Mr. & Mrs. Duff for a little while. We
dined at home. Mr. Sam F. Batchelder being with
us, he having come yesterday for a little visit.
A Robin has a nest and two big young in a
crotch of the White Birch opposite the piazza, and
near the Nasturtium beds. The old birds are kept
busy feeding the young. A Myrtle Warbler has been
feeding young in the Spruces by the piazza, and
a female Hummer has been hovering among
the Nasturtium flowers, and a Black and White
Creeper has been feeding near the piazza.
This morning at 8.30 I heard distinctly from my
window three Celon Flycatchers in full song.
I was perfectly sure of three birds.

This afternoon M. & I called at Mrs. Taylor's and
the Trotters. We did not get in at the latter place,
but we had a pleasant call at Mrs. Taylor's. Then
I called at the Bliss's' and met Miss Cora Barnes
and her sister, Miss Bliss and Miss Edith Kimball
whom I have not seen for several years.
I had a very pleasant time there.

After tea we had a quiet evening at
home. We take the 9.30 morning boat
and reach Boston at 9 P.M. We have
had a very delightful week and every body
has been very kind to us. I shall always
look with much pleasure upon this visit.
