The weather has still been very rainy but today it was sunny in the morning and a little rain in the evening. I think the rain is helping the vegetation allot, the trees are going to get numerous leaves and the grass is going to get healthier. when i went to the site i could smell the sage brush more than the other times, it was probably because they got wet a litte. what i saw the most was were the dandelions, it is a good thing for the bees because the dandelions provide pollen for the bees and the bees use the pollen to make honey. The birds are the ones that are making the most noise in the site which is a sign that the population of birds is growing at a steady pace. But it can also mean that the birds are going to have more competition for the food and the space in the site, for the worms that can be a problem but i think worms grow very quick. I still don't really know how the squirrels are doing they are always trees. I usually see a couple every time i go but this time i went home empty handed. The insects seem to be doing rather good there are more insects in the air flying than on the ground. with time i be starting to see more ants.
