| The recent rains have helped my pasture (and the weeds!). Ponds in the area are still dry, but there was enough moisture to get the cotton farmers planting - the downside is we're surrounded by Roundup and Dicamba ready cotton which, once again, is bad news for our attempts at raising a garden.. |

| Since the last report (5/12/26), we have received 4.03 inches of rain. This has been tremendously helpful for our area. We are having sunny and near-normal temperatures today.
Our vegetable gardens are finally wet enough for seeds to Sprout and grow quickly. We have sugar peas, gourdseed (corn), beans, eggplant, head lettuce (transplants) and cabbages and tomatoes (transplants) that have survived the drier conditions and are putting effort into growing. Up until a couple weeks ago, we were hand watering the raised beds and using the soaker hose every few days.
The drought monitor report comes out today. I expect our drought conditions to go from extreme to severe. We are told that most water reservoirs in the area are at adequate levels. However, we need a number of inches of rain to erase the drought totally.
The various wildlife creatures are doing their usual routines. Baby birds are fledging, bugs are being busy looking for nectar, nest materials (paper wasps, e g.), and digging out from all the rain (ants drying out their hills). |

| Cheat Grass has grown about 2 inches and put out just a few seeds and is burning or going dormant. Usually cheat grass would be about 6 to 12 inches high. Where we have irrigated, it is a foot tall or more. Things are very dry still, badlands have not had enough rain to green up in most places. Hills here are a bit green. Mountain does not look good, but there is time for it to grow yet. Very few grass hoppers. No high water in the creeks. |
