Had a good rain yesterday that moistened things up a bit.  It was starting to get dry.  Still the ground is wet down a few inches.  Strong wind gusts dried grass up yesterday enough to get the mower through it. Everything is lush right now but early.  Roses are in full bloom - at least 2-3 weeks earlier than normal at my location. Other plants like peonies and rhododendrons are just about normal.  Poison oak is everywhere.  Really bad this year in places I’ve not seen it before.  Maybe because it wasn’t cold enough this winter? Not sure.  Put traps out for queen yellow jackets a couple weeks ago but only caught one.  It’s about time for black tail deer fawns but haven’t seen them yet.
