There was a little more rain early in the week, bringing our September total precipitation to 0.97 inches.  The 30-yr PRISM average total for September is 1.26 inches.  The temperature for the last few days was above normal, helping to dry out the soil once again.  Only a few autumn flowers have appeared and the plants look very weak and small, much less than normal.  Crops this year suffered from the last spring freeze and from the extreme heat of this summer.  Our water supply is adequate.
