4 Today's group was splendidly enthusiastic; I have never before conducted a group which afforded me such pleasure. With one or two exceptions-those held up by various duties-they are planning enthusiastically for a walk around Scott's Bluff, next Friday.--------A fine day, with an amazing display of majestic thunderheads against cerulean background-most lovely. Once I chased the whole group to the heights, while I lurked below-to photograph them against the clouds; of course, I shall give a print to each.-Temperature rather high; but a fine breeze stirring most of the day.-A s plendid group; and a thoroughly good time. Polynisia at its flowering height.-Goldenrod just coming.-Ironweed opening slowly.-Cleome serrulate coming on, but two weeks short of its maximum.-A few thistle poppies still in evidence.-Noted the last of Sisyrinchium (sp.)-Buffalo-berries have already, orange color; the taste is frightfully acid.-Coaxed the kids to bite seed-pods of Cleome ; a hot, mustard taste; they didn't like it.-Mentzelia evidently well forward in flowering; it is crepuscular and nocturnal, so we did not see any opened flowers-which I regret; for they are lovely.-First blooms of Gutierrezia Sarothrae ; and Chrysothamnus pioneers-far in the van-soon to open-tho its golden maximum is weeks ahead.
