Rain for the week at this location was 1.64 in with the last two days having the most significant amounts. Things were getting pretty dry with cracks showing up in the ground in bare places. This should give the crops that have been planted, a boost to get going. What rain that has fallen locally has really been spotty. The grass had slowed down but will need to be mowed this week. Cooler temps ahead for this week and more chances for rain, the next couple of day's. Seeing a lot more and different types of birds around than I saw earlier this spring. not a expert on birds but have a cute little gal that comes every morning and sits on a Shepherds plant post and looks in the kitchen window for a period. Once in awhile her mate shows up too. Quite interesting to the two cats on the inside and myself. The dust control worth every penny, with the road past here being used as an unmarked detour with the paved road a mile West being resurfaced.
