How pleasant now to go in the garden & behold the fragrant blossoms, the lovely leaves expanding their green foldeages the whole scenery is so magnificent that the heart that now can view the glorious recreation of spring without casting one thought, where, & who made such this this things & admire the sublimity of nature it must be cold prime to forgetfulness. is there & can there be any such persons who have a heart be so cold & unfeeling, bless God from whom all blessings flow. was very busy today planted out a great many plants (cabbages.) it is a very lovely eve. the whip-poor-will are singing, how many I can't tell from [6 so may?].
