May 12: First swifts were seen, many together.  On May 19 at night was a vast rain with thunder & lightening: frequent showers before & since; so that the ground is very moist; & the corn & grass grow.  The floods are much out at Staines.  In the beginning of the month there were frosts, hail, & some snow.  Apricots continue to fall off peaches, & nectarines decent crop.  Apples blow well: pears seem hurt by the frosts.  Vine-shoots very backward; they were pinched by the frost.
