No rain this week coupled with very warm and humid temperatures. Bumping us back to moderately dry. In retrospect that’s what it should’ve also done last week. Despite all the rain we had received. Even though there’s plenty of moisture for plant growth now it is apparent that we’re still not completely out of the drought. Although birds, bees, and all insect seem to be quite happy. Lots of butterflies in the yard. Many woody perennials have put on new growth due to the rains in the past month. We do need just a few more inches to get us out of this. Here in Durham we are still under water restrictions.
