Is Condition Monitoring Report: True
Description: Recent thunderstorms appear to have made up much of the rain deficit and as a result, we are no longer having to water the lawn and gardens. The pond is full again but the water is tinted light brown from suspended sediment that washed in during the hard rains. We had an algae bloom on Monday with the surface of the pond turning a bright lime green color. The bloom lasted only one day as another storm overnight seems to have changed the water chemistry enough to kill off the algae. The stream is again flowing with the vigor it showed earlier in the spring. We see the muskrat in the pond about every day. We know deer (or rabbits) are in the yard as the hostas are all eaten. The birch trees do not appear to be loosing leaves.
