Barely one inch of rain in the past two weeks has done little to help our drought. The US Drought page isn't working today but the Massachusetts state drought page says we are in L2-significant drought. Streams and ponds are low. Most local towns have total water use bans. Lawns are in various stages of brown while other vegetation seems to be OK for now. Lots of finches have been visiting our feeder. Fox, coyote and deer are also regular visitors to the yard. We haven't heard of any significant wildfire problems.
