| This week we received 1.6" of rain. While that may seem like a lot, it still not near enough that our area needs to break through this drought. Ponds and bodies of water are still well below normal with little to no water in them. While green grass is slowly starting to return with the rains, dry patches still are present in areas they have never been. The ground is still so dry that the rain water puddles before the ground can absorb it. |

GENERAL - While the rain was very much appreciated, we still anticipate our Summer Schedule of afternoon rain showers and thunderstorms would put us more back to normal. |

| Without a doubt, the drought is back, after an all too short hiatus of only 10 weeks. In early April heavy rains resulted in water flowing from a nearby tile drain for the first time in at least 6 years. Now, with little rain in sight, that flow is about to stop, while area waterways continue dropping. So it's back to drought conditions again. Currently, severely dry soil conditions are imminent but moderately dry conditions persist for now. Trees are holding up better than expected but they do look less than ideal. Area lawns are getting stressed and my own lawn now needs watering to limit any damage. Wildlife is pretty quiet, especially one unfortunate fox that sadly was run over. It occurred nearby, close to a stop sign where cars are going slow. Maybe the driver just wasn't paying attention. Anyhow, the two geese next to our busy road seem to be ok, while the fox on the quiet road gets run over. Clearly, it's an asphalt jungle out there.

| Rain all day on Saturday with episodes of heavy rain at times. All this rain has been draining off our property and running down the drainage ditches as the ground is saturated. The rain remained close by to our east and north. Monday was overcast all morning with clearing skies late in the day. Rain remained to our east as we dried out a bit, which led to clear skies Tuesday morning. The lawn is growing super fast and needs cutting, but it’s too wet. Rain after noon on Wednesday with a forecast of heavy rain and possible flooding locally does not bode well for cutting the grass this week again. There are low areas in the yard still holding a little rainwater on Thursday, but no rain. Large flower and tomato pots need water twice daily because they grew so well and are huge. We harvested some of the best tomatoes that were grown in 5 gallon pots. All the young, spring crop of various native birds are at the feeding table, including cardinals, doves, blue jays and sparrows. A few butterflies are around feeding from lantana and milkweed plants which are blooming profusely with all the rain. |

| Near normal, emphasis on "near." We are trending toward dryness - more dust and the top 1/4 inch of any bare soil is completely dry. Soils under mulch, full shade, or groundcovers are still moist, though. I'm seeing signs of stress in a lot of non-native plants. The sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) and Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) are flowering despite being less than six inches tall. Several plants aren't growing at all. Yet my natives, including the spiderwort (Tradescantia canadensis) and Canadian anenome, are thriving. I am trusting the natives have a better sense of the line between "normal" and "dry" than I do currently! Berries are developing on the serviceberry bushes. Chenopodium album sprouted this week and is taking off. These are generally lovely early summer days...but the lack of rain in the forecast may pose problems if it continues. |

| We have had multiple days of heavy rains off and on. Many times there was almost immediate ponding in low areas of yard and sidewalk and at heavier points there was fast running water along sidewalks and sides of road. On driving around I noted many streams were very full (though not out of banks or onto road, where I was, at least).
Usually after heavy rains my yard gets ponding, but it usually infiltrates back into the ground rather quickly. With all the rain we've had (total of 3.69" at my station, including last Sat), it has taken longer each time for the water to infiltrate. At the moment the ground is fairly dry, except in lower areas and esp areas where the sun has not reached, such as under roof overhangs; there the ground is still muddy, though no standing water is present.
In areas where the sun has reached, the previous mud is drying and cracking.
The plants and grass in yard are thriving and I haven't had to water my garden containers all week. |
