Thursday, September 23:
It is 4:15 in the afternoon right now and this is our second visit to my natural area. The temperature is VERY warm- 84 degrees. It is cloudy and a little windy. The sun is not very intense today because the sky is very cloudy but I can still feel the warmth. According to the internet, the length of today is 12 hours 7 minutes 8 seconds. The only wildlife I am seeing is butterflies flying above the grass. The long grass is swaying with the heavy winds. It smells very fresh again today, with a hint of manure. The crickets are chirping, and I see swarms of birds flying overhead. I start to get itchy eyes and sniffle my nose as allergy season is here. This is a prime spot to make allergies act up. I wonder what the plants are called that are giving me this reaction; maybe pollen and grass. I need to go home and take allergy medicine now. :)... I also found a very cool bug as we were leaving. I added a picture of me holding him. I think he was some sort of grasshopper.
