The soil is dry but not too dusty. There is still a little moisture remaining from  April rain, but the rain has been too little to cause significant plant growth. 
The rain has helped to reduce wildfire spread somewhat; yesterday's bosque fire was not serious, even in the wind.  Trees and birds are healthy and doing well. The Sandia mountains are dry with bans on smoking, fireworks, campfires, open burning and gas fires. Our water supply is adequate. Water flow in the Rio Grande River is steady.
