My sit spot is in front of my backyard fence. To the right side of my sit spot there is a collection of viney plants that are very overgrown. Overhead there is a canopy of  trees and vines from the plants on the fence. To my left there’s my backyard door.

I decided to observe this plant/ collection of plants that look like they all occupy the same very small area. I chose this because of how odd it looked. The stems were very skinny on every sprout so the plant easily moved with it’s environment. There weren’t any bugs or birds on the plant nor did any appear on it while I watched. I have not noticed any changes in my three objects since my last session.

While at my sit spot, I noticed that the air is considerably colder compared to the last time I sat out there, due to the changing seasons upon us. The amount of casual breezes also decreased. The sky was a greyish blue and nearly cloudless. the ground was dryer today and firmer compared to the last session. I also noticed that there was an odd pattern on the ground where the dirt was soft. I suspect that I mole went through the area, maybe trying to find a better place to burrow before winter.

I liked walking around my spot more than just sitting because it was more entertaining to me personally. I think it helps me better embrace the moment because it gives you the chance to really think about the oddities that you never noticed before. I had only taken small steps before instead of actually walking up and approaching things.

As far as adaptations go, I only noticed two things. One is that there was a lack of insects like mosquitoes and butterflies in the area unlike last time and I think that’s because they have probably began to prepare for or started the process of hibernation as the temperatures start to drop. Another thing that I noticed was the increase in ant piles in the yard. I think this is because the any hills provide the ants with heat regulation and a place to reproduce and they could be expanding their territories to get ready for the colder months.
