My immediate area is now listed as having "Normal" moisture conditions - no drought.  At the beginning of this week understory plants were starting to leaf out,  By the end of the week most trees were also starting to have leaf buds.  The usual animals are around.  No woodchucks yet and a few juncos are still here.  Locally there were no wildfires but in other parts of the state there were a few.  Earlier conditions were dry and breezy but the last day or two were moist and gloomy albeit with no rain.  Streams are at normal levels but some ponds are high.
