| All three indices, Monthly, annual, and water year amounts are normal, or near normal for this station. Water has been regular and in useful, non-deluge, rainfall thus far for June. Warm humid weather with a good mix of sun has resulted in thick green centipede lawns and ryegrass has been growing well too. Very little need to irrigate or water landscaping. Some mosquito problems. Amphibians and reptiles plentiful. Larger wildlife (deer) have abundant green grass and browse. Temperatures have been hot, but not extreme. Zero fire danger. Only hazard is some trees are shedding larger rotten branches and damaged tops. Mowing grass every 7-10 days at 2.5 inches due to rapid growth. Local creek is normal water levels. Local intermittent/seasonal field ponds are full. |

| Rains in the county have bypassed our immediate area. The ground is quite dry and hard. Brown patches are appearing in yards and pastures as some forages die back for lack of moisture in the heat. Weeds are thriving, though. Ponds are scummy. Our wet-weather branches still haven't run since early Spring of last year. |

| We have had 5.19" so far this month and yet we just stand at a near normal. The pastures are green and are growing and we still have some hay to do, due to all the rain we have been having and that is a great problem to have. Where we have cut hay, the grass is growing again. Ponds are full and the creeks have water in them. The ground may be a little soft in low lying areas but most of it is firm and normal. |

The plants in the corn field are less than 3" tall, should be shoulder or head high by now. My vegetable garden is not producing even with hand watering. It's sad!!!! |

| Again, as with other recent reports, this is a hard one to assess. Rain has been sparce but adequate to keep the grass and lawns green and the flowers in prime condition. The prime indicator thought that it might be otherwise, besides my dry rain gauge, is that streams and creeks are very low. This is corroborated by the readout from a nearby USGS well indicating ground water is on the decline. However, grass and pastures show very little signs of stress. Horses have ample grazing and nearby fields are being actively cultivated, planted, harvested, as the case may be. |
