Rainy Days of Spring

     As I wake up this morning it was raining outside.  When I was eating breakfast I look outside the windows in the clear view of our backyard and I am surprised how green it looks.   I know today is going to be sort of a cloudy, chilly and rainy day.  On Thursday I went out for phenology and it was cloudy outside.  I noticed that we had had some rain and precipitation since the last time we were out for phenology.  The grass outside was really green and the leaves were ready. I could here the wind blow and since it was rainy and cold out there was not a lot of animal activity.    I heard some birds singing and saw a crow migrating it was sort of a silent morning.  The creek was 5cm deep which is recorded.  This day was a cloudy, windy, and rainy day the sun came out latter in the afternoon.  For the past three days its been chilly, a little bit rainy and really cloudy.  The sun would come out every once in awhile but then the clouds would come in with the wind chill.  This means that we are getting some moisture which is really good because we need it.
