Today I visited my spot and took a seat next to a honeysuckle plant, right at the edge of the brook. It was an unusually warm day, being 73ยบ in November but it was nice to sit comfortably for a few minutes and enjoy the scenery. During my time in my spot I noticed that the sky was growing darker and the winds were picking up, but I could still hear the pleasant chatter of many birds. Many of the species were unidentifiable, but I did notice a crow passing by as well as a pileated woodpecker. I heard the woodpecker for a few minutes while I was sitting, but I was pleasantly surprised when he decided to land on an eastern white pine right next to me. In addition, the sound of the brook was extremely calming, especially with the loud rustle of leaves in the background. There was also a considerable decrease in the amount of insects that joined me today in comparison to my past visits. As always, my visit to my spot was an overall enjoyable and relaxing break from all my schoolwork, at least until I was caught in the storm on my way out.
