| The grass is in full growth and in flower, as usual for this time of year. It rained lightly last night and the grass was so wet it felt like I was been wading in a creek when I went out to check the rain gauge. However it is the onset of the dry season --for example, our little back yard pond had lost its standing water recently from evaporation |

| 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. |

| Fire danger is low today - probably was a bit more Friday thru Sunday. We had almost 1/3 inch of rain since yesterday afternoon, but it was quite warm before that. As the dry season, and my vegetable garden are both upon us, I am getting the irrigation up and working. The warm weather seemed to suit the chickens. Seven hens laid 25 eggs in 4 days. The pollen has covered the solar panels, and they are producing poorly. Soil was starting to dry before it rained, but it was not getting hard yet. My everbearing strawberries have been producing for a week now. Baby birds are visible - some falling out of nests, some fledging. Deer are investigating to see if they can get treats out of the garden areas. Young cottontails have left the nest, and the barn cats took advantage for a feast. Everything is green and blackberry vines are growing like mad. Bracken is trying to take over. I cut a patch of bracken down to the ground just a week ago, and it is now knee high again. Folks enjoyed the outdoors this weekend, but since rain moved in during the afternoon, the traffic returning to the city was heaavy before 2 PM. |

| The last 10 days held several promising forecasts for significant rains. My little “donut hole” got 1.78” vs thoroughly saturated areas within a 50 mile radius. The showers we’ve had are greatly welcome but aren’t making a dent to replenish nearby stock tanks. We do thankfully have green and growing foliage at the end of May. And I came across a gulf coast toad in my downspout this week, which was a happy finding. |

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. |
