Weather Conditions: 85° F, Dry, and Slightly windy

Site Description:

Most of the site has stayed the same since the last visit. Based on previous experience there might not be that much of a change to some of these plants. I noticed that some of the leaves that are located on a plant on the right side against the house are lighter around the edges. I am not completely sure what this means but I can only assume it has to do with the changing of the seasons. This plant has seen a lot of ash land on it as it has very broad leaves that are quite strong, being able to support some extra weight from the ash, however small in weight it may be. I have noticed that this plant has less ash than before, meaning it has started to decay, be absorbed by the plant, or just get blown away by the wind. I noticed that a small flower had grown nearby the plant growing out of the wood that I documented last week. There are no other flowers nearby, so I am wondering if it has recently moved in or is just blooming a lot earlier than the other ones that may be located nearby (The picture did not come out well because of its size so I have not included it yet, although I may take a picture at a later date to check in on its progress). There is another plant on the right side of the site that seems to be preparing to open up its buds and show the flowers inside. This plant is normally covered in bees, throughout most of the year, even when the flowers have not yet bloomed. I think this is because the pollen is still making its way out of the plant.

How much of this greenery will continue to stay green once winter rolls around?
