Only 0.06 inch of rain has fallen since last Sunday, resulting in noticeable drying of the landscape. Fire danger today stands at moderate. A nearby pool of standing water has almost dried up fully, but thus far lawns have not started to vary from dark green coloration. Small animals continue to be very active, and our lettuce crop is thriving. The hard freeze (27 degrees) on the 18th may have delayed some crop planting, as there have been three subsequent lows here in the 30s, one of just 33.
