| Except for a sunny, 50s spring-like Tuesday, the week has been cold, gloomy & rainy (on 3 days totally 1.26", which we need. Song birds, squirrels, bunnies, geese V's are common. Only a few dirty piles of snow left in large parking lots. Crocuses are blooming. Tourism is sporatic - downtown packed when nice, emoty when gloomy. |

| Weekly precipitation was 0.22 inches. Daily low temps: 45,34,27,43,47,56,59. Highs: 79,46,48,68,78,84,85. Synopsis for the week: A broken line of severe thunderstorms moved through the area last Sunday evening providing all of the reported weekly rainfall. It then became cool again for a couple of days with Tuesday's low of 27 causing a lot of burn/kill in grass and trees that had greened up. Then it turned into nearly summer type weather for the remainder of the week with plenty of wind as well to really dry things out. We have not planted anything yet, but we plan on starting this coming week. I would say that ground conditions are drier and firmer than normal. |

| There has been no rain since the previous Sunday and no rain in the forecast for the week. While it is not as dry as would be if this were summer, the ground is not as wet as it should be during spring. Most concerning is that the ephemeral pond that usually consumes the city lot next door has disappeared (ground is moist, but no standing water). This is the breading ground for our population of frogs, toads, and other creatures.
This week I only watered a few locations where I planted seeds. However, I plan to water other areas on Monday because I have many new plants in the ground.
I raise shoreline grasses in a raised bed that is lined and filled with water. The birds have been utilizing this area as their bird bath.
In my pictures, I have included my escavation site. I planned to build a pond, rain garden, and dry creek bed to address ongoing drainage issues in the backyard. Unfortonuately, I uncovered an old cesspit/septic tank. Groundwater is draining to this area, and it will take me sometime to escavate it, figure out how to deal with the old cesspit, then build the pond. In the meantime, it gives a nice, exposed shot of the soil conditions for several feet. This is the low area of my property.
This was my first time doing a soil moisture test. At 0-2", soil moisture was 16.2% and deeper- 18.5%. According to quick search, this seems low for mississippi area.

| Above average high temperatures continued with a high temperature this week of 95 degrees on Saturday March 21, an all-time high temperature for the month of March. The high fire danger warning has continued as the ground and vegetation continue to dry out. Nebraska’s largest wildfire ever continues to burn west of here along with several other wildfires in the area. The soil is dry and powdery where there isn't much vegetation. The grass has greened up to some extent but there are many areas of brown. A few trees and shrubs and perennial flowers are coming out of dormancy. We only received 0.18 inch of precipitation this week from 2.2 inches of snow and the ground is drying up again. Conditions are mildly dry but are definitely trending toward moderately dry. March precipitation has totaled only 0.55 inch (0.77 inch below normal, or 42 percent of normal). Precipitation here for the year is now 2.40 inch, which is 0.70 inch below normal (77 percent of normal). Precipitation for the water year is 2.20 inch below normal (73 percent of normal). Plants and wildlife. Bird visits to the heated bird bath remained steady this week due to the limited sources of water. Approximately 25 species of birds (about 150 to 160 birds visit each day). Water Supply Water level in Standing Bear Lake (approximately 0.2 mile to the east of here) is approximately 2 feet below normal. Area creeks and ponds are also about 2 feet below normal. |
