3.06” of rain last week, almost all collected over two days, nothing severe. 1.11” of ETo. Temps were seasonal - morning lows in the 70s and afternoon highs in the 80s and 90s degree F. Three days the Heat Index hit 100+ for several hours each day. The rain at the end of the week has created wet conditions for the time being - soil is soggy. No supplemental watering needed for garden plants or containers - plants are all thriving, grass/weeds growing quickly. Black-eyed Susan plants have bloomed and are plentiful and beautiful all over the prairie restoration area. Wildlife remains active - birds, bees, butterflies, dragonflies, rabbits. Area ponds are full. Story for the week - conditions look like Spring but temperatures feels like Summer.
