1.26” in the preceding week and we’re at 1.50” for the MTD, which is not a bad start on the month. Garden soils are adequately moist starting about an inch down, but would love to see May at least somewhat make up for April’s deficit. Everything is green and growing; many trees are in bloom as the daffodils and forsythia fade. It’s always a lovely time of year. Pond level and wildlife activity are normal.
