Location: The lawn enclosed by Belknap, Matthews, and Montag
Weather: 54 ̊ F, cloudy skies, off and on rain, no wind
General: I can see a variety of colors from where I am sitting. The oaks along Belknap still retain most of their green colors, while some leaves are beginning to turn yellow along the fringes. A group of bushes along the sidewalk displays a brilliant red color. A tree near the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity is a bright yellow. The leaves of another tree near SAE and Montag display a range of leaf colors from red to orange. At the same time, one tree has not a single leaf left on it. The ground is very wet and soggy from the day’s rain—fortunately, there is an Adirondack chair to sit on that is not as muddy as the ground. It is strange, but even though so many people live in the immediate proximity of the lawn I am sitting on, it feels very peaceful and quiet. I cannot see or hear any birds. The only sounds I hear come from the road. There is 1 squirrel that is out and about, but beyond that, most of the wildlife seems to have taken much of the day off due to the rain.
