| Topsoil is very saturated with standing water in fields where there are low areas or pockets. Raven Stream is elevated some and running, not at full bank but water is deeper than I have seen in the last three years of drought consistently. The pond in our pasture has regained some of its depth again but is still about a foot from reaching its flow-over point. Farmers are not able to get in the fields, nor gardeners, and probably won't be able to unless we have at least a week or more of dry weather. Our lawn is growing fairly well now and will need its second cutting if it is dry enough to in less than a week. |

| We had a very wet late winter, where rainfall FINALLY brought water levels in wet woods and vernal ponds back to a healthy level (after a number of years when vernal ponds and wet woods were dry through the winter and the rest of the year). Since these late winter rains we've had a dry stretch with strong winds and high and fluctuating temperatures (80 degrees for several days and 32 degrees at 7 am on April 26th) that have dried out my 1/2 acre wildlife garden. Yesterday I dug up a number of plants to share with fellow wildlife gardeners and the soil was bone dry. |

Intermittent streams are mostly all flowing at a medium spring rate. Marsh Marigolds are in full flower, some more apple tree leaves are emerging. More Black Cherry are leafing out with flower heads. Rue species are getting to be one foot tall. Fields are being sprayed, plowed and planted. |

| Oh how dry I am. Total rain for april in my yard was .91" Grass isn't crunching when I walk on it . . .yet. Forecast is promising for this weekend, fingers crossed. Despite lack of rain garden is doing well, plenty of flowers blooming. Roses have produced one of their best displays ever. Temperatures are up but fortunately not the humidity. No signs of planting in the fields yet but some have been plowed. Just enjoying spring in North Carolina. |

| Last week the Spring Creek Nature Trail on the west side of Kuykendahl Rd was still flooded in places, 10 days after the last rain. It's too wet for our volunteer trail crew to repair a bridge that slipped down the bank when when a tributary bank collapsed in January. These two issues required closing a western section of the 15-mile trail, visited by 70K+ trail users annually. |
