| Water year to date: 10.04 inches, 48% of of normal. Year to date: 8.27 inches, 58 percent of normal. Many lawns are either drying up or dying altogether. I've seen houses with bare dirt that once were lawns. We had to put water in our pool last week. And now it's ready for more. Our weatherman told us two weeks ago that rainy season started. But where's the rain?

| Most obvious sign of dryness is the neighborhood lawns. Those without irrigation systems are already browning, which should wait for summer in a more typical year. Very active yard animals (deer showing off new fawn; groundhog; many passerines). Turtle Creek is somewhat low. Good germination in corn and soybean fields. |

| No rain in over a week. Sprinklers being used non-stop on everyone's yards. Some crops are very dry and any grass that hasnt been watered is drying up. Tempatures have been above in the mid 60s at night but high 80s during the day, causing lots of use of AC and energy. Small streams, ponds and marsh have significantly dried and is easily visible. Because of the lack of soil moisture, dust is super common especially when farmers are tilling soil. |
