We had only .81" the month of April, and 1.64" the month of March.  The ground is hard and dry 5-6" down.  Small trees are dying or struggling, but large ones are not showing signs yet of stress.  Nearby stream is almost completely dry, with just small pools and patches of mud in some areas.  Two weeks in early-mid-April of temps in the mid-80s-mid-90s exacerbated plant stress, but the last 10 days have been below average and cooler which is helping somewhat.  Rain barrels have been empty for weeks.  Bird baths are being visited by birds and wildlife daily.
