| The vegetation is looking normal for this time of year (our driest month). The grass in open areas along roadsides is now dry and yellow, but still green in shady areas here on the coast. My general impression is that many summer-blooming plants are flowering earlier than normal, probably because of the unusually dry spring. |

| First off, I would like to say apologies for not writing last week. Was rather busy. However, in the last two weeks, we haven’t received much rain. Only 0.04 inches of rain has fallen, and that has come from convection that doesn’t really reach the surface and as a result, has resulted in wildfires in the mountains locally. The grass is rather brown, and not many patches of green grass remain. We are in more seasonable conditions with very limited rainfall.
Even though it’s very early reading, we are above normal for this time in July. In fact, 177% above normal. However, I don’t expect any kind of dramatic uptick in precipitation. It is summer after all. Well, I will see you all next week for another report and hopefully you all had a great Fourth of July. Take care!

| Morning fog and marine layer clouds in the morning earlier this week, but the past few days have been clear and a bit windy. The weather for the 4th was just about perfect for the annual funky parade here in Mendocino -- worth looking at the photos -- and the area was packed with tourists. Our fire department Strike Team is watching the fires around CA and might be called, but no fires on our part of the coast at this point. We have three young foxes in our gardens and they are running and playing like mad in the morning. A few fawns have also been sighted locally. Our local services district has given a warning that because of limited rain in April and May, there could be water restrictions by the end of the summer. |

Wildflowers are beginning to die back, hummers are very active as are songbirds. Robin is extremely agitated when you come near her 2nd clutch nest under the deck.
Western flycatcher is active but I do not see her nest. All songbirds are very active in the two birdbaths.

| With dry conditions beginning in late May, we delayed hauling cattle to grass pastures and fed them hay until some showers improved grass conditions. Cattle feed for hay was delayed planting by at least 2 weeks hoping to receive forcasted rain but the rain didn't materialize in our location, although surrounding areas did. Cherry tree produced fewer cherries this year. Dryland corn and pasture are showing drought stress this week. |

| While a good old fashioned cloud burst of 0.92" last Saturday evening did manage to briefly keep our soil in a near normal condition , I was surprised to see how quickly it went from near normal to almost moderately dry. Fortunately an additional 0.29" fell yesterday morning and that has prevented moderately dry soil conditions so far. All the while, the U.S. Drought Monitor continues with an abnormally dry drought condition in our region. Area waterways are looking somewhat low. Up to yesterday, local lawns were showing some signs of stress while trees were drooping a little, except for the invasive Morrow's Honeysuckle of course. Currently the surface is moist with deeper soil on the dry side. Clearly we need a good soaking. Our four peewee/flycatcher chicks have just left their nest and are lined up on an adjacent ledge just beneath our porch ceiling; getting ready to make their leap of faith. We have some unusual, little biting flies that have been around lately that I hope these birds catch. Unlike deer flies that leave a one hour welt these little flies bite and leave a welt that itches for days. What's next? Murder hornets? |

Strong winds blew tall potted plants over. Tomato plant towers full of leaves and fruit also blew over but were easily straightened up. More heat and humidity for the 4th but no rain to spoil fireworks after dark. The lawn needs mowing even though some areas are still damp. Maybe later today if no new rain falls I’ll have a chance to mow. |

| Fire danger is probably moderate. We didn't hear any of our neighbors playing with fireworks last night, so the locals think it was not safe. The creek is low. Soil is pretty dry for 4 to 6 inches down, and sometimes hard and cracking. Traffic on the lane kicks up dust. No grass to mow, just the blossoms of clover and weeds. Apple trees are loaded, and apples growing. A doe hangs out near, and tolerated me the other morning from perhaps 15 feet from her while I picked wild blackberry and she nipped off the tops of Hypocharis radicata and nipplewort. While flies, ants and fleas have been plentiful, we have not seen the usual great numbers of paper wasps. The creek is low, but the spring flow is normal. Invasive blackberries are heavily loaded and growing long runners already. Picture of Spring Creek looking east from S Mattoon Rd. |

| With 1.20” of rain last week conditions are now near normal for early July. The Pascoag Reservoir is at 8’11” and not quite overflowing the spillway. The lawn has gone dormant in sections but still needs mowing once a week in others. The hostas and day lilies in the yard are in full bloom although both have had their flowers eaten by deer (mother and fawn) that are living on the island in back of our house. They must have been pretty frightened by this year’s massive fireworks displays up and down the lake! There have been no warnings about water quality so far on Pascoag Reservoir but several lakes in the area (Wilson Pond, etc.) have blue green algae and water use is restricted by RI DEM. Several hummingbirds have been regular visitors to our feeder. Sparrows, waxwings, woodpeckers and hawks have been very active and the mallard chicks are now as big as the mother. Fire danger at George Washington state park is still listed as Medium. Happy Independence Day! |
