| The great rain this week has gone a long way to bringing the drought under control. The streams are running well. retention ponds in neighborhoods have a good amount of water in them. My yard is the greenest it has been in quite some time. |

| Got some big rains, though thankfully the earlier ones were slower and soaking. These last ones were like summer storms, dumping a lot fast. (I think it's been 3 separate 1" rains ). Plants are generally happy, unless they terminated late and those might have not done well. We had some hail in town but I didn't know if we had any here at the house. Trees with deep roots are doing well though even (yard) grass and such are thriving. Spring flowers are mostly done, esp on the trees, though blackberries are blooming. Animals seem happy and active. The owls in our neighborhood are very vocal! Number of reports of foxes and son coyotes which are rarer to see. Reservoir must be up; when we were paddling or was up a little, but after the additional rain the gauge rains online say it's up (as expected). |

| With the generous dew in the mornings this week, really helped with the lowering of fire danger. Grass has really taken off in growing. Trees have been budding at a steady pace and wild flowers are emerging. Lots of various species of birds flocking north and some rare for up north here are making appearances. Roads are good for travel and with the low wind we have had all week, great for high profile vehicles to travel through. Trails are open for travel. And finally, after an 11 day stretch, rain is supposed to fall later today. Have to say though after this winter, it sure was nice to see the sun for this many days in a row. |

| Fields are wet, vernal pools in the forest still relatively full.
Sugar maples are producing a higher abundance of samaras, which look like miniature curtains of Spanish moss from afar. Our bur oak will be producing flowers in profusion this year.
Wild cherry trees are in bloom, apple trees soon to follow. Queen bumblebees and wasps are taking full advantage!
Tent caterpillars are active. |
