64

This is my sencond obvservation on  the irrigation dich. It is May 26 and the irrigation ditch very moist today. The tempurature outside was around 64 degrees. The soil was very moist, and the dich its becoming less dry. In the first obvservation I noticed that the grass and soil was very dry. Jackson has gotten lots rain sence my last obvservation, and the irrigation dich has gotten very wet and the plants/ grass has started grow.  The weather is partly cloudy, and it is moist outside today. There was close to no wind. I think that in my next obvservation the irrigation ditch will start to fill with water and the ditch will be cleaned out. I think this because the farmer that owns the irrigation ditch has horses, and cows on his property, and he will need to start cirulating more water for him animals.                  


P.S, If the irrigation ditch has water in it in my next obvservation then you owe me $5 .                                                                                

first observation

The place I pick to observe was the erigation dich outside my house. I observe the erigation dich around 3:00 p.m on May 17. It was around 65 degrees outside and very sunny. The erigation dich soil was very dry because the water is not running yet. This is a very interesting spot because there is lots of vegitaion and wild life that live in and around it. The whole erigation dich is cover on by willow trees that run along the sides of the water. This is home to very many different kinds of life during the summer and the winter. During the summer there are very many plants that grow in and by it. There are usually lots of dandy lions, flowers, and moss. There are animals like frogs, ants and magpies. During the winter when the water is not flowing there are animals that stay in the dich. I have seen moose take cover from the snow storm by laying down in the dich. The moose also eat the willow trees that are on the sides of the dich. I have also seen deer, foxes, and coyotes in the dich. I think between the time of this observation and the next one the erigation dich will fill up with water. This will make the dich wet and the moss and other debree in the dich will go down stream and new life with begin to grow.
