FIRE - Great improvement locally.  Last week we had one day with 1.37in of precipitation reported.  This certainly saturated the soil and trees and bushes around our neighborhood.  However, this was very localized precipitation.
ENERGY - Last week, again, the latter days were above average temperatures - 6 to 10° above.  While keeping blinds and shades closed, we saved some energy as the AC was not running as much as anticipated.
GENERAL - With precipitation now being forecasted each day, I.E., afternoon scattered and isolated showers and thunderstorms, we have started to recover the water levels in our ponds and lakes.  Future 10 day forecast is encouraging.
