Afternoon and evening thunderstorms gave us 2.78 inches of rain this past week. Unfortunately, most of that did not soak into the ground but ran off. Less than a day after receiving over two inches of rain in a little over an hour the stream had completely dried up and had only small puddles of water in the stream bed. There was no flow of water in it at all. The water level in the pond had dropped to about a foot below the spillway so no more water was flowing downstream. We are still under Level 2 water restrictions. We are still seeing leaves turning yellow and falling to the ground from water stress. We continue to be surprised by deer and fawns and rabbits appear to be everywhere.
