Received 2.50" of rainfall in 18 hours last week. Well needed. It did little to help with the ground and soil. It appears that most of the rainfall didn't penetrate the soil.  The soil has no moisture in the top 10".  We need a couple days a week of rainfall to mitigate the dryness.  It is Summer and lawns do get stressed , however it seems that there are more yards around this way that are a burnt out than usual. This location is still in a 2" deficit.
