| Many fewer birds this year. Only two hummingbirds on our feeders when we normally have a dozen or more. Only a couple of song birds (couple of nuthatches). Crows and ravens are more vocal. Our aspen are struggling and may not survive the summer. Typical (Colorado) afternoon monsoons are feeble at best. Rio Grande flows are starting to taper off; still many rafters. Many more tourists from TX, OK, KS, are escaping the heat. Red Flag warnings are almost a daily occurrence with all the wind. No fires in the area…yet. Very few wildflowers: no irises in the small neighborhood pond |

| Lawn is starting to dry up in spots. Gardens require daily monitoring for water, and transplanting is becoming challenging with the lack of rain and hot weather. |

| Native dogwoods and older Japanese maples are showing stress with wilting leaves and some leaves turning brown/falling off. No rain this month. Only 30 percent of our normal rainfall since January 1. The garden which includes squash and watermelon has to be watered every 2-3 days in the higher heat days. Local creeks and streams are either just trickling or have stopped flowing. The local Rocky Branch Creek at NCSU is almost down to just a trickle of flow. |

| We have been receiving no consistent rain for the past two weeks or so. A recent thunderstorm on 6/7/2026 provided a little under half an inch in "make-up" rain. Even then, the ground has been dry and most days the air has been dry. |

| Significant soaking rains yesterday and on several other recent days has brought my land essentially back to normal hydrologically. Winter rye that I seeded early last fall barely germinated during those drought times, but dormant overwintering seed has now grown profusely and is now headed out. Grass and clover seedings have been slow but are now coming along nicely. No signs of stress in any of my plant community. |

| Fields are mucky and flooded and low areas. Difficult to work in. The increased soil moisture is a breeding ground for agricultural pests such as swede midge and brassica root maggot. |
