I'm leaving the condition Near Normal since the ground continues to dry out relatively quickly. The dirt road remains nearly walkable after about 36 hours of drying time, despite the pond being less than six inches from going into the spillway. The past week saw 1.3 inches of rain with a few thundershowers and temperatures one degree below normal. Precip for the month is 216% of normal with nearly 135% for the year so far. Plant-wise, understory shrubbery have exploded with honeysuckle greening rapidly. Leaves on some trees are becoming visible with the lawn greening with noticeable growth. Time to get the mower ready. Rhubarb is growing rapidly as the wife decides on what to grow in the raised beds. No field work has been observed.
