Recent rainfall has really brought things back to life. Vegetation is lush and green. Grass has begun to grow much more like normal for this time of year. There is substantially more pollen in the air as well. Overall it seems things are much closer to normal than the past couple of months. Went mildly dry only because the river, along with some of our local creeks continue to run below normal and the fact that we are still a little behind in precipitation for this time of the year.
