A lot of monsoon moisture with several days of rain. A total of 1.32 inches of rain fell for the week though most of it fell on Wednesday. Due to the wetter week, I decided it wasn't appropriate to leave the Condition Scale Bar at "Severely Dry" so I'm moving it to "Moderately Dry". High temperatures started off hot last Sunday at 90° but cooled afterwards and were in the mid 70's to end the week. Lows were in the 50's and 60's. The low of the week was 56° on Monday and Thursday. No strong winds but gusty winds at times with the storms. Some plants are starting to sprout in the open areas. The green beans in the vegetable garden are slow to grow again this year. Harvesting raspberries. Birds continue to frequent the garden though it seems like less of them. Also, it appears the blackbirds have left the area which is normal. Garter snakes were also seen.
