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).
