The midweek featured three gorgeous days of sun and comparative warmth bookended by grey skies and drizzle. That’s where we are today. Total catch for the week was 0.23”, which brings MTD to 1.57” against a PRISM average of 4.39”. Would still call things in the near normal range but we could definitely use a good long soaker – beds in the veggie garden are a bit drier than I’d like to see at this time of year. Pond level and wildlife activity are normal; the only surprise is that our new swan pair is actually nesting; they often wait a year or two before breeding when setting up on a new pond.
