| As our rainfall totals to date suggest we are still under extreme drought, the soil tells the story. It's extremely dry. The temps are now warming into the 80's which worsens the conditions. Birds are teaching their fledglings how to find food & fly. Foxes in the neighborhood look healthy. Wildflowers are in abundance. Creeks & lakes are very low. Hummingbirds are dining on nectar from my flowers. A few butterflies are in my yard, a monarch & zebra swallowtail. |

| We've had several days of rain that helped the severe drought we've been in but I'd say we're still mildly dry as 2.50" of rain doesn't go very far when the past 4 months have been bone dry. Just a couple weeks to go before tourist season. Locals just can't catch a breather to enjoy where they live. Seeing horrible cases of mange in foxes and coyotes. Bird and squirrel populations doing great. Large # of resident Osprey sighted, and more than one pair of Bald Eagles in the area! I hear this may be a Super El Nino year with possibility of more storm generation closer to home and a wet summer. |

| No major issues. After the last round of precipitation ended we have entered a quiet spell with only occasional showers. Trees, shrubs and lawns are looking good. Somewhat cool weather as of late with frost seen several mornings! No annuals or vegetables planted yet so there was no harm done. Apple trees had a very quick period of blooms; only a few days instead of nearly a week... We'll see how that affect the apple crop. Looking forward to some planting in the garden soon as I anticipate warmer weather ahead. I'm hoping that we don't go straight into summer-like weather--not a fan of that. |

| We recorded.21" moisture overnight. We started planting soybeans the past 3 days with approx 100 acres no till complete. Our ground has been too wet to plant until this week. Rain overnight will keep us out of fields for a day or so. We are mowing yards about every 6 days. Vegetable garden has been too wet to work in until last weekend. Able to plant cold crop veggies and some new perennials. Strawberry patch is progressing well. We have covered a few times, as the frosty mornings keep sneaking in on us! |

| So far this month, the total of 0.33" of rainfall has been a blessing but inadequate to turn our drought around. Windy conditions and warm temperatures continue to compound the drying effect. The ground remains extremely hard and dry. Pastures are green, but spot checks in the fields and yard reveal many areas with brown dessicated grass blades and alarmingly large bare spaces between plants--not at all the normal for Spring in our area. Ground that was worked in preparation for planting is now "on hold" until Fall in hopes of adequate precipitation then so the seed isn't wasted for lack of rainfall. More ponds show scum and mud rings at or near the surface. Our wet-weather branches still haven't run since early last Spring. Hay and fescue seed crops look to be significantly lower than normal this year. |

| During the last 8 weeks we planted more than 8 window boxes and buckets of grass seeds using two different brands/types of grass seeds and two different types/brands of nourished potting soil at least 3 weeks apart on the ground and ~ 3feet above ground near the southeast facing brick wall and northwest facing brick wall. No supplemental water or fertilizer was added. Grass in back yard sprouted quickly and grew up to > 8 inches long while some front yard grass failed to sprout at all and some exhibited much slower growth. Some containers of grass moved to the front from the back quickly deteriorated and withered after moving. Some variable other than precipitation did not support that type of grass at that place/time that was characterized as relatively "dry" at near drought level with burn bans and water restrictions |

| Here at our location we are mildly dry. The wind has been so strong which is drying out the land very fast. We could use some rain to stop the soil erosion and dirt from blowing. Luckily we have not been hof. We need a good general rain to wash off the winter dirt which was very bad this winter. With the strong dry winds, we have had lots of no burn in our state or county. |
