Note: This report is one day earlier than usual because of a scheduling conflict. Conditions are normal for this time of year and most of if not all the brown spots in the yard are now green.  The sump pump crock had some water from the 0.77" of rain that was received 3 days ago but has since gone down.  There are actually flowers on the strawberry plants which is unusual for this time of year.  Very few birds can be heard in the morning, but the bird bath is still being utilized.
