 Okay, so today I decided to draw one of the grasses that stand near my plot. The pictures on the right are what I deemed presentable to the public :)

So it's been cold and dry and miserable. (Except for running the Race for the Cure yesterday. That was fun.) That poor creek. I hope it gets some water soon.

Anyway... I'm completely surprised that the leaves haven't begun to turn colors yet. It seems unnatural to me.

I honestly don't know why I choose to visit my plot on the absolute coldest days of the week! Ugh, I'm not happy with myself right now.

Honestly, not much has changed. I expect the leaves should start falling soon. That'll be exciting.

Oh, and I finally remembered to take ground temperatures. Today it was 67 degrees Fahrenheit. Though, I did use a 20 year old meat thermometer, so I don't know how accurate it was. :)

Finally got a camera again! YAY!










These flowers are absolutely adorable! I can't figure out what they are (If you know, you can leave a comment, and I'll change it). There's maybe two dozen of them throughout my 1x1 plot and I love them. They are completely white except for the green in the center. (SQUEEEE)

It's cold today, really cold and it's kind of sprinkling now. Go water! But the birds were quite for the first time in all my visits, and it kind of freaked me out.
