| Much needed heavy rainfall have lessened the drought, despite more rain being needed to make up the yearly deficient. The rain reduced dust activity and fire risk to normal levels while raising plant activity and pollen to normal levels. Plants have returned to their normal green and growing state. The soil had significant uptake of water as my soil moisture sensor in the upper 6 inches of soil has shown a steady decrease in moisture. |

| Streams looking good, garden soil in good condition. Colder than seems usual. We've been having some regular rain, though the storms mostly turn north and here on the coast we get the fringes, not the heavy stuff. |

| Planting and clearing out flower beds. It was so dry that I could easly push by trowel 9 inches into the loamy soil. Too discouraged to dig a big hole to see how deep the dry is. Will not be planting the native perennial bed I was planning on until fall. |
