0.52” in the preceding week, of which only 0.17” gets chalked up to June. The weather has been little short of spectacular, with temps in the 70s and low humidity. But we could use a good soaker, and it doesn’t appear like one is in the cards any time soon. Will hold to “near normal” for this report but if the medium range forecast verifies suspect a switch to “mildly dry” will be appropriate next week. Things continue to be lush and green; lots of pollen and grasses gone to seed. Veggie garden is doing well with a boost from drip irrigation, but do need some warmer weather to kick the tomatoes and chiles into high growth gear. Pond level is normal, as is wildlife activity… and that’s both good and bad: the cygnet count, last time I could get a clear view, was down to five (out of the original nine) and that was two days ago. Have seen this show enough times to know that being a cygnet is a rough business.
