| The deer continue to frequent this location, when normally they migrate to naturally vegetated areas by this time of the year. A bear has even been frequenting this location which is very rare. The last time a bear came here occurred during the 2002 drought. Vegetation on an adjoining undeveloped parcel of land is dominated by dried out weeds and is a potential fire hazard. |

| Plenty of rain this last week. Over 2.50 inches since last Tuesday. And almost 17 inches YTD. Tstms and rain came Sunday and Monday afternoon but much of this activity was over central Tarrant County. So plants are good and most yards need mowing but are too wet. Birds and wildlife are doing well too. Most area lakes are now full except for six of them. Those are from .8 to 4.10 low. |

Unfortunately mosquitos are still abundant as well as house flies. The local small ponds and neighborhood retention ponds are all nearly full again. |
