We had almost an inch of rain this week, and that is more than we have had recently. The grass on our waste treatment mound is looking a little better after the rain. (That's usually our driest area.)
Crops are all growing well, and a young spotted fawn walked through our yard yesterday, so apparently the deer population is healthy as well. 
The South Fork of the Crow River between Glencoe and Silver Lake where it is crossed by County Rd 2 is a little higher than last week, but isn't even close to overflowing its banks.
