I was surprised to see that I had filed only one condition report in 2026, perhaps because we have had so little precipitation.  As  of late June, we have received less than 4 inches, and the landscape is looking very dry.  A series of storms brought 1.40 inches on June 11, which turned the native grasses green for a while,  They are now dry again. as the storms since then have yielded less than 1/5 inch, usually much less.  The wildflowers that managed to sprout were about 3 inches high. There are no natural foods and no standing water for the wildlife (deer, ground squirrels, and birds. Wildfire danger in this wildland/urban interface area is high.  We are ofren under red flag warnings, and concerned about groundwater.
