I went away for 10 days and only had an accumulation of 0.40" to report for that period. With only a week left in March I am about a half inch below the March average but for the Prism water year I am about 4 inches down. So, while surface conditions look pretty good it is not enough for me to change my condition to Mildly Dry. Some spring bulbs are up and some of the early bushes and trees are starting to leaf out, I have a few sheltered daffodils, and six of them are blooming. The pond is full, with some overflow. The birds are starting to change into their breeding colors. The ponds' resident goose pair is making sure that everyone knows that they own the pond.
