Scattered rains over the week totaled 1.16", with 1.07" occurring Thursday night. Waterways were beginning to drop prior to Thursdays heavy rain but are now on the increase. Soil conditions were nearing normal but are now back to moderately wet. And if the forecasts are correct, wetter soil conditions are on the way. Trees are budding out noticeably and the invasive Morrow's Honeysuckle shrubs are leafing out on schedule. Lawns are green and mowing has started up in earnest. Geese and turkeys are out and about and while mowing I spotted what I figured to be a goose egg, broken and empty. I'm guessing either a fox or raccoon was the probable culprit. Luckily there are surplus geese around but still it was a sad sight to see. As always, it's a jungle out there.
