0.56” in the preceding week, which was disappointing (busted rain forecast Thursday/Friday). We’re just over halfway through May and stand with a 1.88” total,  which is just over halfway to average, so I really can’t complain – but the upcoming week looks dry. Would like to see some recovery to April’s deficit (worth noting that the state just downgraded local drought conditions from Level Two to Level One). Will hold to “near normal” for now. Garden soils are reasonably moist, but have started using the drip irrigation system. Trees, grasses, flowers, brush, all of it are growing well. Pond level normal for this time of year; wildlife activity is normal.
