Fuels are very wet, lowering the fire risk, and dust/pollen activity is low to moderate. Plants are green, but not growing very fast due to the amount of rain compared to the amount of sunlight. |

The high of the week and warmest temperature this year, so far, was 83° on Thursday. Lows were mostly in the 40's though there were a couple of days in the 30's with a low of 32° on Tuesday. It was breezy on some days earlier in the week with winds picking up at the end of the week. No precipitation fell last week. The grasses and plants in the open areas are starting to brown some. In the garden, the rhododendron and the iris's are starting to bloom. The garden is starting to have the look of summertime. A lot of different kinds of birds are frequenting the garden and using the bird bath a lot. Saw a frog and garter snake in the pond. |

| I am upgrading to Near Normal from Mildly Dry this week. I have had a good May with about 5 days left to the month and am sitting at 114% of PRISM Normal precipitation. I am still concerned for the long-term as the Snowpack SWE in my area is still below normals. My 6-digit HUC South Platte River SWE is sitting at 77%. My more local 8-digit HUC Big Thompson River SWE is at 87%. For now the plants around me are coming along nicely with normal growth. Deer and elk have been frequent visitors. The elk are starting to drop their calves. Ticks seem to be worse this year. In one outing two of us picked 26 ticks off our clothing. Rivers are running higher this week as is expected. The park has not been able to open Trail Ridge Road on their normal schedule due to late snowstorms and high winds. |

| Since my last report on 5/04/25 there has been a total of 7.92" of precipitation. The water level in Hopeville Pond is about normal. Water supply quality and quantity are good for human consumption. There are still a number of animal prints and various birds to include, the usual yard birds and ducks and swans] around the pond. The outdoor temperature is still cool to cold which requires the people to keep their heat and/or a/c source turned on. The grass and other vegetation are very green and growing fast starting to be noticeable and will need to be managed; nature is in full bloom which adds to the growing allergy season. |

Fire: risk is increasing, of course. Still low, though.
Plants/wildlife: We saw, for the first time in our entire 26 years here, a great blue heron on Buckskin! Birds are increasing, as are insects, and they are welcome. We realize that there has been a crash of honeybees nationwide, and we are trying to increase the plants that are desired by insects.
Water: So far, so good. We'll probably be an inch low going into summer

| Rain that just came way to much and way too fast in a short period. During the late eve of 05/19/2025 we had a storm pass through. Within a 45 minute period we had received nearly 3 inches of rain. We and the surrounding area had any where from just over 2 inches in the north to just over 4 and some reports of 5 inches to the south. Way too much all at once of which most of it was run off.Yeah it helped greatly on level to slightly sloping areas but any greater sloping areas it ran off and didn't penetrate deeply. We probed with a 4 ft rod and can push it in on level locations with not much resistance but as soon as we get at the top of a break from level to sloping landscape we can only push the rod in maybe 12 inches or so then hit dry hard soil. |

| What a difference a healthy shot of rain can make. Last week conditions were borderline Moderately Dry with grass starting to turn brown and the ground hard and cracking. This week I am going to say conditions are Near Normal. With 3.47" of measured precipitation over the course of 4 days, grass greened up, garden plants look heathier and the beans and the corn in the nearby fields shot up. There is still some standing water in low spots in fields. Area rivers rose. With below normal temps to start this week, the soil should continue to retain some of the moisture. NOAA MTD is above 100%, and YTD and Water YTD are in the low to mid 80th percentile. There are a couple days forecasting a chance for rain this week, so Near Normal should reign again this week. |

| Although the recent rains have raised the level of the creeks and spurred a little bit of growth in the lawn and pasture, growth rates are still well below normal in both. The oxen are back on the pasture but will likely need to pull them off again in a week or two unless growth really picks up. I am needing to mow the lawn but easily go more than a week at a time when normally I can't go for a full week without mowing. Corn and beans are growing and appear to be normal for the time since germination.
With less than a week to go in May we have less than half the normal monthly precip and are still more than 19 inches behind for the water year. We're OK but don't have the reserves to withstand any kind of drought conditions. |

Still way behind on the water year; we’re only at 77% of average. But that’s an improvement. The first ~two inches of the storm came in a long slow soak, which was needed. Rainfall absorbed into the ground fairly quickly, however – most of the “tell” spots on the bog were dry by Saturday. Vegetation is lush everywhere. Pond level remains elevated after the storm.
