Was sorry to see new farms opening up in the beautiful juniper orchards near Bernal Hill - for dry farming. At Ribera the peaks of the Pecos [[strikethrough]] River [[/strikethrough]] Mts. began to show. Santa Fe Baldy & behind it Pecos Baldy - well capped with snow which extends south over Lake Peak and a little beyond but does not reach to Glorieta Peak. The cottonwoods ^[([[underlined]] P. angustifolia [[/underlined]])] at Glorieta were only beginning to have out & not as beautiful as usual - The [[underlined]] Populus fremonti [[/underlined]] in the canyon near Canyoncita were much farther advanced and along the Rio Grande Valley in full leaf. Boxelders were in blossom at Canyoncita and in fruit & nearly full leaf at Lamy.
