  • 1791: September 28, 1791 – Linnets congregate in great flocks.  This sweet autumnal weather has lasted three weeks, from Septr. 8th.
  • 1785: September 28, 1785 – Several ring-ouzels on Nore hill.  Farmer Tull mows mill-mead, a second crop, which it is expected will prduce near 3 tuns on an acre.  Men mow also clover, hoping to get some hay at last.  Timothy the tortoise spends all the summer in the quarters of the kitchen-garden among the asparagus, &c. but as soon as the first frosty mornings begin, he comes forth to the laurel-hedge, by the side of which he spends the day, & retires under it at night; ’till urged by the encreasing cold he buries himself in Novr amidst the laurel-hedge.
  • 1781: September 28, 1781 – Dug up potatoes, & carrots.
  • 1780: September 28, 1780 – The China hollycocks in my strong soil grow too tall, & are just beginning to blow.  Began to light fires in the parlor.
  • 1779: September 28, 1779 – Grapes are rich, & sweet.
  • 1774: September 28, 1774 – All things in a drowning condition!
  • 1773: September 28, 1773 – Stoparola, flycatcher, still appears.
  • 1772: September 28, 1772 – Swallows & martins.  Gathered the first grapes: large & good.
  • 1768: September 28, 1768 – These ring-ouzels are seen again in the spring in their return to the north.
