May 6 Sunday – From Livy’s diary:

We are having a wonderfully restful Sunday morning. We neither of us went to church….

The children have been out gathering wild flowers and have brought me such a beautiful lot. I am going down now pretty soon to arrange them.

Mr. Clemens and I are sitting on the west balcony out of the billiard room, it is warm and pleasant, but Mr. Clemens has a terrible cold in the head—As I look down to the stream I see our four ducks—we have also six little ducks…[Salsbury 62].
