Elder begins to blow.  Many hundreds of annuals are now planted-out, which have needed no watering.  Wheat begins to shoot into ear.  Hardly any shell-snails are seen;  they were destroyed, & eaten by they thrushes last summer during the long dry season.  This year scarce a thrush, they were killed by the severe winter.
