May 11 3d row (my old one, just inside the wall) of peas bursting the ground. First Indian paint-brush!!! on hill near "Dover" cliffs of Harry.

The horned toads are round in numbers. I presented the dead snake to one on the way home yesterday, and he fainted or feigned.

May 12 Tiny yellow flower in Holly Ravine. Perhaps recorded before.
May 13 Holly and Potentilla canadensis near the mullein patch. Radishes big enough to eat, and eaten.
