An excellent week. This station recorded a grand total of 5.19” in the preceding seven days. The best part was that much of that came “low and slow;” the main event early in the week started with a long, slow soaker. Things got busy the next day, with 2.37” coming in less than five hours. But then things slowed down to soak later in the day, followed by another reasonably significant rainfall late in the week. Combined, this not only “made our nut” against average for July – it erased June’s deficit, and took a bite out of April’s. We’re now more than an inch to the good on the Water Year. Pond level is slightly elevated, though returning to midsummer normal. Wildlife activity is normal; the remaining cygnet continues to grow and appears increasingly likely to survive.
