| We farm row crops and have been getting equipment ready for planting. A few farmers on lighter ground have started planting, we're still too wet to go into the fields with out tracing. No ponding is observed at this time, even with the inch of rain overnight. Weather has had its ups and downs, both temp wise and percipitation. Hay fields are growing well. Rivers and streams are full and in some spots running into the fields. There has been flood warnings in places within a mile or so of us on the North Elkhart river. My veggie garden is too wet to work in, only have potatoes and onions in. Perennials are handling the weather swings fairly well. Columbines and spring bulbs are blooming, despite the ground is still on the cool side. Strong winds have made cleaning up tree branches an on going task. |

| The last two months have been much wetter than normal for us (over 13" of precip), so soil is quite moist with standing water in the low areas of the local woods. The level of our 20-acre lake (Turkey Lake) is up nicely, perhaps 7" or so from Mar 1, but still well below historical "normal" levels (based on surrounding vegetation). I am installing a metal yardstick to monitor the lake level more precisely going forward on a weekly basis. Yard and surrounding woods are greening up nicely, at least a week ahead of normal. Tree frogs and spring peepers are back and vocal! |

| My brook is running at about normal now. Mud on my loop trail is pretty much gone other than the usual wet areas. Skunk cabbage and garlic are well above ground now. Grass is lush and ready for a mow. Pond is still down by about a foot compared to this time last year. Buds are popping on the trees and bushes everywhere. |

The local intermittent stream and nearby trout stream are flowing at spring levels. Some manure is being spread, some pesticides being sprayed and fields being plowed. |

| After .45" of rain, the total for April is 1.08", which is still over 2" below average for the month. The rain and some warm weather did kickstart the St. Augustine grass into greening up. Prior to the rain, the sage in some fields was wilting (see photo) and is small for this time of year. It is starting to flower. Azaleas were also wilting. Corn and early soybeans got a small boost from the rain and are now a few inches tall. Porpoises have been seen in the Albemarle Sound the past few days which is an indicator of higher than normal salinity levels. Birds are continuing to use the birdbath for drinking and bathing. Surface soil moisture has increased slightly with the rain and cooler weather, but there was no standing water in the yard after the rain. |
