  • 1782: June 30, 1782 – Neither veal nor lamb is so fat this summer as usual: the reason is, because the cows, & ewes were much reduced by the coldness & wetness of the last very ungenial spring: We have had no rain since June 13.  The ground is bound as hard as iron, & chopped & cracked in a strange mnnaer.  Gardens languish for want of moisture, & the spring-corn looks sadly.  The ears of wheat in general are very small. The wetter the spring is, the more our grounds bind in summer.
  • 1781: June 30, 1781 – About nine in the evening a large shining meteor appeared falling from the S. towards the E. in a inclination of about 45 degrees, & parting in two before I lost sight of it.  I was in Baker’s Hill in the shrubbery, having a very bad horizon; & therefore could not see how and where it fell.

  • 1770: June 30, 1770 – Farmers do not care to persist in cutting their St. foin.  The thermometer fluctuates between 29 & 29 & 1/2.  The Rooks pursue & catch the chafers as they flie, whole woods of oaks are stripped bare by the chafers.
