Almost 1.5" of rain over the past week has certainly been welcome, but not enough to provide significant relief for our drought conditions. April closed out at only about 39% of average rainfall for the month, and before that March was only about 57% of normal. Still, grass instantly perked up after recent rainfall. Have been seeing young rabbits and plenty of birds. Over 50,000 acres have burned due to south Ga wildfires, but recent rains have helped firefighters start to gain the upper hand. My neighbor's garden seems to be doing well.
