1.29” in the preceding week. That, coupled with this morning’s catch of 0.35”, pushes the May total to 3.60”, which is 102% of PRISM average. We’re at 97% of average Calendar YTD and 103% of average Water YTD, so things are – thankfully – currently in the zone. The only weather grumble is that recent cool temperatures have REALLY slowed germination of some of the veggie seeds. Most local flowering trees have gone by, but rhododendrons and azeleas are at their peak and early perennials are showing well. Pond level is normal; the only notable wildlife comment is that the clutch of nine cygnets is now down to eight. I’m surprised we haven’t lost more.
