Is Condition Monitoring Report: True
Description: The past 15 days have brought us only 0.12 inches of rain but there do not appear to be any adverse results in the plant life or in the creek and pond levels. The water in the creek has turned a dark black color so the bottom is no longer visible. The trees are turning color and dropping their leaves but that is normal for this time of year. Some trees, principally the sycamores and poplars have not yet turned to colored leaves and started looking like fall. Others like the birches and maples have either lost almost all their leaves (the birches) or have turned brilliant colors and have started to look like fall. The plants seem to be doing well despite the lack of rainfall.
