After nearly 1.5 inches of rain the past week since the last report, overall conditions remain Mildly Dry. Despite some watering, the lawn at this site now includes yellow grass as well as green (see attached "Backyard 12 July.jpg"), and unwatered lawns are predominantly yellow. The nearby field with low spots continues to show no ponding at all, but the current Fire Danger level is Low. Hot-weather plants continue to flourish, and animal activity remains noticeable. Local farm stands are reopening with abundant summer produce, including early peaches and tomatoes. Patronage at local businesses remains light. The water level at a nearby reservoir remains good.
