| We have been completely unable to keep our garden and fruit trees alive with this extreme heat and drought. Despite our irrigation system young fruit trees are dying or have died and vegetable plants just turn yellow or curl up and die. We don’t have enough water to keep up with the heat. |

| After a wet June I only measured 1.21" of rain for the month of July. To start the month of August I recorded .74" of rain this past Friday and Saturday. I am still calling this to be a mildly dry period, but my lawn is still looking good and needs to be cut at leat once a week. In my general area the corn looks good, and soybeans look like thick, healthy bushes. |

Mildly Wet

| Last month, we received 2.18 times our normal monthly rainfall. This month is starting off under the strong El Nino conditions which indicates we will have ample rainfall and maybe some excessive events.
Everything that lived through the past drought is doing very well. The grasses are green and well watered.
We have at least one new male Hummingbird this season as indicated by his striped throat and the start of one or two of his ruby feathers. We continue to have our usual bird species. No new species have been spotted other than a Rose Breasted Grosbeck. |
