Rivers and streams are running at normal levels, and soil is workable, not to dry nor moist.  Over the past week 0.61" of rain fell. Perennials are growing quickly and all the trees and shrubs are budding.  Early spring flowering trees and shrubs are beginning to bloom.  Honey bees are active in the gardens where I have early blooming bulbs. Woodchucks are very active right now, along with the bears.
