- 1791: April 22, 1791 – The merise, or wild cherries in vast bloom. Grass grows, & clover looks very fine. Mr & Mrs B. White, & Hannah left us & went to Newton.
- 1789: April 22, 1789 – Young broods of goslings. Wood-sorrel, & anemony blow. The cuckoo cries along the hanger. Wheat thrives.
- 1784: April 22, 1784 – The spring backward to an unusual degree! Some swallows are come, but I see no insects except bees, & some phalanae in the evenings. Daffodils begin to blow.
- 1783: April 22, 1783 – Young goslings abound. No hirundines.
- 1780: April 22, 1780 – Tortoise comes-forth & walks round his coop: will not eat lettuce yet: goes to sleep at four o’clock p:m: In the hot weather last summer a flight of house-crickets were dispersed about the village: one got from the garden into my kitchen-chimney, & continued there all winter. There is now a considerable encrease & many young appear in the evening running about, & hunting for crumbs. From this circumstance it should seem that the impregnated females migrate. This is the case with ants.
