Warm and dry weather persisted this week with no measurable rainfall to speak of. Our soil moisture continues to dry out, and our area grasses have strangely started growing a bit thanks to the warm weather. Next, our trees have gone dormant for the winter, but hopefully we will get a bit of rain tomorrow to help our trees survive this developing drought. Lastly, area wildlife have been active with multiple sightings of birds, flying insects including mosquitoes, and a few deer.
