| Mostly cloudy and cool with light winds, then partly cloudy and cool overnight with light winds. The high temperature was around fifty eight degrees, and the low around forty two degrees Fahrenheit. Songbirds are eating a feederful every other day. Goldenrod, Prunella vulgaris, Chickory, Mugwort and Jerusalem Artichoke flowers are in full bloom. Apples are ripening, walnuts are 2" big. All corn have cobs from 8" to 12". Blackbirds are beginning to flock. A few Black Cherry trees, Walnut leaves and sparse other trees leaves are beginning to change color. The local intermittent stream is dry and the nearby trout stream is flowing at late-summer levels. |

| Mon 9/7 – Sun 9/20/26 rural Central Oregon High Desert – moderately dry]
I have modified my report condition status from severely dry to moderately dry based upon the observations that follow. Precip (and variants) this 2-week period: rain totaled 0.48” over 7 of the last 8 days (late afternoon Sat 9/12 to dark-AM Fri 9/18); morning frost occurred the first 2 days; there was a thundershower pre-dawn hours 9/17; and a morning fog followed that final 9/18 pre-dawn rain event. Undeveloped ground has remained moist enough (from the prior period’s rains) that dusty conditions have not returned, despite the first 5 days of dry warm (71 – 89°F) weather. The last day of this period, several spots I have checked around the property remain damp several inches deep, and on Sun 9/20 afternoon only a few unshaded areas appear to be starting to dry at the surface. A few natural groundcover plants (grasses and broadleaf) have revived a bit from their drought stress, and a few more birds have been observed drinking from nearby water sources (lawn, puddles, etc.). Overall, temps have cooled and moisture retention has increased. |
