| Every sword has two edges: the Upside of all this rain: not having to lug water to the plants all the time. the downside: the emergence of bacterial wilts and fungal diseases which kill plants (bacterial wilts on asters and beans), or ruin fruit (anthracnose on blueberries and basil). Hard to prevent organically. But it IS a relief to find the soil moist relatively deep in the rhizosphere (8-16 inches down). |

| Yards and fields have gone from lush and green to brown in the course of several days as the heat and lack of rain have dried up. Gone from having to cut the grass every week to right now maybe once a month at worst case. |

| The ground is hard and dry. I watered container plants and the veggies in my garden yesterday evening and the water soaked in so fast it was unreal. Some of the veggies are not producing well, and I suspect the heat, and more likely the drought, has something to do with that. One of my apple trees is turning dead brown, and I have already lost a forsythia plant I just put in this Spring. For the most part my lawn is still green, but I can see some patches are starting to turn brown. The bird baths remain popular and I am filling them every afternoon when I get home from work. Hummingbirds are enjoying their feeders as well. With the heat this week wildlife doesn't seem to be on the move much, so all has been quiet. I don't see the rabbits in the yard much, and I haven't seen our resident groundhog in a bit. Even the sun-loving plants are suffering from sun-scald on their leaves. Naturally the air conditioner has been running quite a bit this week, so energy use is up. I am able to water with rain barrels, so that saves on water usage. |

| We have had measurable rain 10 of the 12 past days for a total of 4.01". The rain has been great for our flowers and veggies. Part of the back yard is under very low standing water. The vernal pool has been full for most of July. The two ephemeral streams on my yard have been flowing most of the month as well. The lawn has been very green and lush. |

| Praise the Lord on the rainfall the last 4 weeks. Turning the brown dead grass to green. Grasses did come up from the rains but the weeds have taken over from where grass would have grown. There is a lot of pasture in which the grass was burned up from heat and lack of moisture/rainfall. Some ranchers are saying this was the worse and still not out of the drought. There is noxious weeds are covering where the grass is and not good for cattle grazing. This has happened before in the past droughts but it is worse. God covers the ground to keep the moisture in the ground for a reason. Thus my previous reports of the scared bare ground from the burnt land from heat, wind and lack of rainfall. The land is still scared. I selected the "Report Categories" as we are not completely out of this drought. Water supply is still very low at Sumner Lake and irrigation restrictions are still in place. Financially it has impacted our ranchers and county on income for the next several years. This continuation of drought is very hard on ranching. We continue to pray for rain to revive this thirsty land. Amen. |

| July brought us the southwest monsoon we've been lacking for a few years. To-date we've received 3.78" in July, most in the past 10 days or so. The grasslands are greening-up nicely, although the weeds are now growing faster than I can cut them! |

| Leaves are yellowing on a variety of well-established large trees and some poplars are dropping last numberds of leaves. A large larch tree has needles turning yellow - highly abnormal for July. Soil so dry in my honeyberry patch I had to use a knife then a metal rod to get a hole to insert a sprinkler peg. Lawn grass is of course, crispy. Unwatered garden corn wrinkled and less than 4 ft. tall, tasseling out. Local water pond has dried up and the rancher is hauling water and feed for his cattle daily, pasture very poor. |

| 1.58" of rain fell during the past week. Most of this came during heavy thunderstorms Wednesday night. With abundant sunshine the past few days things are still blooming well. Egg plants are abundant. Much activity at bird feeders and many hummingbirds visit the yard. You can practically see the grass grow; needs cutting every 5 days right now. |

| This past week started out quite warm but we've been lucky for the most part to have cloud cover to keep it bearable. There were some good storms that came close, but they seemed to just mostly fizzle out around us as they neared. We ended up seeing some small amount of rain, even had tiny little frog hopping around on Saturday (7/24). Native plants seem to be happy about the rain and weather, too; they're looking green and healthy- with no sunburn! |

| Continuation of no precipitation and above normal temperatures continue to sap remaining moisture from the soil and vegetation. Additional two wildland fire starts in the region this week with another three large fires still burning: two of which are less than 10% contained. These fires are contributing to unhealthy air quality in the area. Fire danger remains at Extreme conditions. The small streams in the area have extremely low flows for this time of the year and the pond water levels are nearing empty. Irrigation of crop land continues with the second cutting and baling of hay crops completed. Grasshopper populations are large with leaf defoliation and fruit loss damage apparent. Another extreme heat warning has been issued and temperatures of over 100F starts today. A few wildlife sightings this week. |
