Wild geese appear in a flock, flying to the Southward.
Most severe flights of snow. Plows are frozen out, dirt carries horse, & man.

Wood-pecker laughs. Spring-like weather. Skylark mounts & sings. Crocus begins to blow.
Large titmouse sings.. Chaffinch sings. Hot sunshine. Snowdrops blow.
Made cucumber bed. Snow gone on the hills. Winter aconite blows.
Red-breasts and hedge-sparrows whistle. Snow gone, save under hedges. Ravens seem paired.
