This morning was cloudy. got very warm about ten twelve oclock. this afternoon was cool & cloudy eve cloudy the spring is here now flowers, birds, the large trees that had] been bare all winter now the tender buds have been nursed into life by the gentle breeze of the spring air, & are expanding into beautiful leaves foleage, how lovely spring is the sound of the Whip-pooo-will. as I listened to their lovely sound my thought take wing, in imaganation of my mind and I see all things that is good, holy & lovely. the time goes fast now it's April the flowers are pleanty so lovely. Today has been quite busy - [illegible] planted the flowers today quite a number, hope the "fross" will not destroy them as last year. I am almost impaitent I see the lovely blossomes, but must wait paitantly for them a great many people have been here of late. Today there quite a number of people here today hope the meeting will be attended well hope it will be pleasent weather.
