The soil remains damp after big rains last week. Temperatures have cooled.
The fescue lawn is green and lush after rains and scheduled fertilizer.Local national forest reports many closures until assessment after hurricane Helene. I have noticed a lot more Eastern box turtles on my acreage than in the past. Either mating or on the move. Hummingbirds are still here.

| Dry this week. No rain at all. Temperature highs in the upper 80's, lower 90's, but cooling nicely at night in the mid to high 50's. Soybean harvest is underway, as is wheat planting. Ponds are puddles or completely dry. I'm seeing more deer and turkeys. Also had a flock of wild geese flying north pass by. The garden is having it's last hoorah as the tomatoes continue to ripen, but most everything else is done. |

| Conditions continue here as moderately wet. Tropical Storm Helene and some subsequent rainfall have our precipitation year well over the 30-year average. Jordon lake appears to be sackful, small streams are flowing and soil is very moist. While we did not have flooding problems, nearby topographically low areas have ponded water and flash flood warnings were issued throughout our region. We are "drying out" over the next several days since no precipitation is forecast. |

| With only 1.1” of rain over the past month, conditions are moderately dry. The Pascoag Reservoir has dropped to 7’6” which is about a foot lower than normal for this time of year. The dam will be opened in about 2 weeks to lower to winter levels but most boats are already pulled as water levels are exposing rocks and boat ramp access is becoming a problem due to low water levels. The Harrisville/Pascoag water district still has the outdoor water use ban in effect (since July!). Lawn growth has slowed significantly over the last month and is brown in many sections. Pine trees in the area seem to be stressed and have been dropping an abnormally large amount of brown needles recently. Leaves on maples and birch are beginning to turn color, but colors do not seem as vibrant as usual this year. Hiking trails at Sprague Farm in Gloucester and in the Webster Forrest are bone dry. Normally wet spots are dry and brooks/streams have no flowing water. NIDIS drought website shows that about 50% of RI (northwest section) is abnormally dry (D0). The George Washington state park is still posting Medium for fire danger level. |

| Another week with n o rain -- last one was a month ago, 9/6, and we have had hot days for the duration! Cooler nights have only indicated low humidity, so we are drying out to near severely dry levels. Small fires have been reported, though no burn bans in the immediate area are up yet. With fall moving along, plant life has not suffered badly, but gardens need irrigation to do much. Little rain is forecast for the next week, either.We are moving in the "wrong" direction! |
