| 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. |

ENERGY - Average temperatures were near to normal both day and night resulting in normal AC useage.
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.

| 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 received over 2 inches of rain in May however this is only about one half of the "normal yearly average." Outdoor burning restrictions have been lifted for the present. All plants, lawns and golf fairways are green and appear healthy but more rain is needed. Small streams have dried up and Lake Jordon water levels have declined.

| Rainfall for the week was 0.31” and rainfall for last week was 1.44”.
There was full sun, low humidity levels and no rain throughout most of the week. This combination allowed a lot of surface water to evaporate from the ground. The week started in the moderately wet range but rapidly progressed to near normal by the latter part of the week. As the grounds dried up, the farmer's horses were allowed access to the entire pasture. Chippewa Creek however is still running at a moderately high level indicating the groundwater is still relatively saturated and is still draining off into the creek. I was able to get the lawn under control by mowing multiple times this week. It was also dry enough to get the vegetable garden planted which is pretty much the normal time of the year for me to get the plants in.

| I live on a farm and ranch with several ponds. Our smaller ponds are close to full. We had a couple of heavy rains in April that filled them and got enough rain and cool weather in May to maintain them. Our larger ponds are not full, which is unfortunate for this time of year. Everything should be full as we head into the hotter months. The grass is green but it is beginning to show signs of stress in areas where the soil isn’t as good. Generally, this is our greenest time of year, so that is a little concerning to see it beginning to fade before the start of June. It should be green and healthy, even in the higher spots that will dry up in the summer months. The soil is pretty dry a few inches below the surface. I recently had to put in a post, and the ground got very hard to dig after the first eight to 10 inches. We had some rains in the first half of May. But we missed some in the later part of the month and have had less than an inch in the last 20 days. |
