Date: May 27, 2008
Time: 5:50
Temperature: 56 Degrees F
Weather: Partly cloudy, clearing
Winds: Chilly winds, slightly breeze
Soil: Mostly dry, few patches of moist soil
I thought the ground would be a lot more moist from the constant rain over the last few days but amazingly it was mostly dry. In exception of a couple of places under the trees where not much sunlight gets to, the water has been completely dried up by the sun and the soil. The plants are starting to rejuvenate from the harsh winter. They are starting to bloom; trees are getting much of their leafs back, shrubs are blooming, most of the ground is now covered with grass. Even in the part of my area undergoing succession there is a lot more green. The small trees are getting their leafs, making the place look a lot more lively than a few weeks ago. As I walked into my area there were a few white figures in the water. I believe that they were ducks, they were too small to be geese; the young geese I’ve seen in this area have a different colored feathers.
