After a brief drop in Temperatures at end of 2025, we are back up above normal.  We tied a high record of 79 on Jan 3.    Water conditions are normal.   We had a light rain that produce .13" inches of rain.  It has continued to be foggy in the morning sometimes causing rain guage to pick up .01 inches of rain that is condensation.   We have been removing fence posts so have been digging 2' into the ground.   The soil is moist and easy to dig.  But no water is pooling into the holes (water table is general low so water pooling happens often).   The warm weather is causing plants to bloom out of season.  My gerber daisy has blooms.
