During the past week, we received 0.35 inches of rain and had a one day high in the low 80's.  The low wet spot is puddled as the rain has turned to drizzle.  The Forsythia is budding and starting to send out new leaves.  They have not unfolded.  The figs in containers are starting to bud.  The birds are "noisier" in the morning.  We have seen Robins (males and one female) near our feeders.
