What’s up ya johns,
Happy to report: it’s alive! Green had returned to my phenology spot in Centennial Woods. Small shrubbery is in bloom, ferns are starting to unfurl, and grasses are poking up. It’s beginning to become what it was when we first met 🥰. In, fact, it will most likely return to almost exactly how it was as the only major changes that happened over the winter were the few yellow birches that had snapped over. The human made stick shelter remains fully intact, as with all of the fallen and decaying logs.
One of the reasons I like my site is that it demonstrates the intersections of people and nature. The shelter embodies the culture of UVM: a little lawless, outdoorsy, creative, probably doing a lot of drugs.
As it represents such intersection, I do view myself as part of my site. I am a part of the human world that interacts with centennial, so the things I do have an impact there.
Here’s a quick sketch.
