 Precipitation to date for August is 28% of normal and 60% of normal for the water year. Most of the rain this month has occurred in the last few days. It remains hot with a majority of days above 90 degrees. Due to a lack of food in the foothills west of Boulder, black bears are now looking for food in the city. One of the bears in my neighborhood has figured out how to open the bear-proof garbage and compost bins. Let's hope he/she doesn't teach the other bears that trick. Conditions remain severely dry.  View

 Things seem to be holding steady, although we never really get enough rain in any rainstorm. Crops are growing well, and the garden is also growing well. They have all had a good chance to establish roots to pull moisture up from lower levels. Some weeds are getting harder to pull as the soil gets dryer. The South Fork of the Crow River between Glencoe and Silver Lake on County Rd 2 seems to be staying close to the same level or sinking slowly. Few sandbars have shown up yet. The local turkey and deer populations seem to be doing fine.  View

 after a brutal hot, smoky, dry start to the week (and previous month), we finally got .67" rain in a couple of thunderstorms this week. But they were hit or miss--some places got much more and some places got almost nothing. But it's enough for now to low the drought conditions to moderate, at least until the hot dry weather returns (later this week). Streams are still low and soil is still dry below a few inches down. Smoke is mostly gone at the moment, and local fires have minimal activity. Our small nearby fire was only smoldering even before the moisture, although the USFS was using it to justify logging miles from it, getting the cut out anyway they can. USFS is calling fire danger extreme, and all campfires are banned (but people still build them anyway). Grass is still brown. Garden is producing green beans and the first tomatoes of the year.  View

 I received 3.01 inches of rain this week; most of the rain (2.28 inches) occurred during a thunderstorm overnight and early morning August 13. The soil is saturated from heavy rainfall, cooler (below normal) temperatures, and cloudiness this week. The trees and grass are green and growing. Conditions are mildly wet. Precipitation for August is 6.40 inches, 4.36 inch above normal (313 percent of normal). Precipitation here for the year is now 25.91 inches, which is 3.58 inch above normal (116 percent of normal). Precipitation for the water year is 2.08 inches below normal (108 percent of normal). Plants and wildlife. Bird visits to the bird bath are less than last week. Approximately 15 species of birds (about 70 to 80 birds visit each day). Most plants are full of turgor and have not been wilting during the day. Plant diseases such as powdery mildew are starting to affect plants (such as cucumbers) because of excessive moisture and cloudiness. Water Supply Water level in Standing Bear Lake (approximately 0.2 mile to the east of here) is above normal. Area creeks and ponds are also above normal. Nearby corn and soybean fields look good and are growing well.  View

 I did not record any rain during this past week. The area is officially considered to be in a severe drought condition. The soil is very dry, hard, and cracked. Shallow rooted plants such as grasses in non-irrigated areas are brown. Larger pants are starting to show signs of stress. Burning bans are in effect in the area. There are numerous active wildfires statewide, but much progress has been made in controlling them in the past week and there are none in the immediate area. There is sufficient water in lakes and rivers to support wildlife.  View

 Two days of near one inch of rain have helped aliviate our fire danger and encouraged a range of mushroom types. In the garden, trying to move from watering daily to mulching. The mulch pile (pinestraw and mostly oak leaves) is dry most of the depth.

 Another mostly dry week. More and larger patches of dry crunchy grass in lawns, pastures, hay fields, and wooded areas. Gravel roads and trails were dusty. The creek was mostly dry with little mud, few stray murky pools of water remained. The springs were not adding enough water to keep trickles running between pools. Ponds and other creeks and small rivers in this area were lower than usual for this time of year. Corn seems to be hanging on, silks were drying. Only in spots were there a few stalks with pointed leaves. The soybeans on sand or gravel areas were wilted most evenings. They still were revived on foggy mornings. Pods didn't have seeds forming yet. Many oats fields were combined. There are few oats fields planted in this area anymore. The test weigh was below average but the yield was above average. The stems were long, some areas at 5 feet tall, above average for this area. It is possible that the spring rains had plenty of water in the ground for the roots to reach. There were sandhill cranes foraging on the combined oats fields many days, usually only adult pairs. An eagle was seen on a branch of a dead tree watching one nearby field, likely for small rodents running between rows of straw and stems and crop trash. Some apples fell from the trees, more than usual for this time of year. The trees in the pasture woods had fewer apples on than the ones in the yards. The earliest apple varieties here had a few ripe apples. Most apples were mixed colors. Apples that fell in the pasture woods didn't lay on the ground long, likely eaten by critters. Deer and cattle both like apples as well as many varmints. A hen turkey was seen at the roads edge with a clutch of small poults, only a couple of weeks old. Another flock was seen on a combined field, about a dozen and all adults. Wild blackberry brush had some small ripe berries but the leaves were wilted. Some wild perennial plants had wilted leaves many days. Tansy was past peak bloom. Goldenrod had flower heads but none had open flowers yet by the end of the week. Wildfire danger was slightly elevated with dry grasses and ripening crops. Some green growing crops had dry leaves near the ground. A few poplar trees with a south or west exposure had a few yellow leaves. A few stray oak trees were dropping green leaves. Some mushrooms were growing, partridge of the woods and oysters that I can name. Many animals likely stayed near water. Pastured animals walked to water tanks multiple times each day and night since water holes and grasses were dry. Feed needed to be supplemented, not uncommon for this time of year. Most people in this area would like some measurable rain so the crops can fill out and ripen. Gardeners were getting tired of watering vegetables, fruits, and flowers. Most people right around here don't water lawns so mowing lawns has been less than usual.  View

 Recent isolated cells provided some rain accompanied by lightning to certain areas, a lot of brown lawns and watering is required to keep the lawn and garden going. No major fires in our direct vicinity but still large fires in the province. ORV ban in place for the forest roads and total fire ban still active till October. Lake and river at normal levels but small streams have all but dried up. Smoke levels have dropped and recreation has resumed, but still a light haze visible limiting long range visibility.
