Today is the 29th of October. I went to do my notebook observations at around 4:15 and it was the quite chilly at 48º, so I bundled up. The length of day today is 10 hours and 24 minutes, so I'm glad daylight savings is coming up. Today, I noticed that there weren't really any birds or squirrels like there usually are. It seemed quiet except for the wind constantly blowing through empty trees. Most of the leaves have fallen, but some trees are topped with orange or browning reds. When I looked at the ground I could see an array of color; green, orange, red, brown, and everything in between. It was a little wet today because of the raining earlier, but not too wet. The air smelled like Halloween just around the corner, and it felt good. Not because it's getting colder, but because I feel like I'm ready. I've assumed that most of the animals have either migrated by now or are hibernating. I hope that this winter isn't too awful, and that fall can last just a bit longer.
