During the weekend it was raining a lot, so I expected the structure to be wet and somewhat clean but it was actually pretty dry. There is a part of the structure in which you can sit on and it is a swing and despite the rain, the wood was dry. I also looked at the other parts of the structure and I noticed it was quite rusty. As I kept looking at it, I noticed on the bottom I could see green, which I think was moss. I also saw various spider webs scattered across the structure. I also got the chance to see a small brown spider climbing up the structure.

It rained early in the morning, so when I went to go visit the spot I noticed that the structure was still wet. I also saw that the tree surrounding the area is starting to turn yellow and orange. The leaves of the tree are starting to fall on the grass as well as on some parts of the structure. I noticed various yellowish leaves on the swing as well as on the rustic part. I also saw that someone left their black umbrella leaning on the side of the structure. The umbrella was still wet and it was extended, so I wonder who left it there and if it will continue to be there. I also wonder if the amount of leaves on the swing will increase, decrease, or stay about the same.

This morning I visited the structure and upon arriving I immediately noticed that the wooden part in which you sit on of the swing was gone. It was nowhere to be seen, so I don't know what they did with it. I also saw that the black umbrella I saw on Monday was still there leaning on the it. The yellow leaves are also gone, they still are surrounding the area, but they are no longer on top of the structure. I don't know for how long the swing was gone, but when I left class earlier today I saw that it was back, so I don't know if they cleaned it or did something to it. Honestly, I didn't even know that was possible, but at least it's back.

As I looked at the wing today I noticed that this time around there were about 5 leaves laying across the platform, scattered. Not only were they small, but they were also brown and so were the leaves on the grass surrounding the structure. Last time I visited the structure, the leaves were still yellow, but now they have turned brown. I decided to look at the trees as well and I noticed that they are still a bright green with a faint yellow, so I wonder how long it will take for it to change color.

The first time I saw this structure I realized there were various spider webs scattered across it. I decided to see if some of them were still there. Most of them are gone, especially the ones that were higher up, but I still saw a few small spiderwebs. I think the recent rain might have contributed to that since it is still arachnid season and some of the spiders might have moved or they probably just died.

The black umbrella is also still there, leaning on the structure. I feel like it is almost starting to become one with the scene. I went to take a closer look of it and I saw a spider on it. The spider was like a light tan color which was very noticeable against the black umbrella. I think the umbrella might be broken. For starters, it is extended, which at first I thought could be on purpose but as I looked closer I saw something weird. When I looked at the bottom I started to see the part you typically see under the umbrella poking out on top. I don't think that's normal, so I'm thinking the owner of the umbrella maybe broke it and just left it there. I haven't touched it because (1) I don't know where it's been and (2) there was a spider on it and I was too scared to touch it.

Honestly, now whenever I pass by this structure I check to see if the umbrella is still there and I think it has been about a week if not more of it being there.
