Minimal rain over the last week.   The pasture and lawn remain green and growing but quite slowly.   Pasture would normally be growing faster than our oxen can keep up with; this year we are already supplementing the pasture with hay.   Lawn would normally be needing to be mowed more than once a week and now is easily going a week or more.   Trees have leafed out early and look healthy.   Most planting done and still waiting to see how germination goes.   Ground in the fields looks very dry for early May.  Creek still has water flowing but water level is very low.   River is fairly full but nowhere near top of the bank.
