We got less than .5 in. of precipitation this week. Birds have increased their crabapple eating, covering our sidewalk in apples that fall. The bird feeders are emptying fast as blue jays, goldfinches, purple finches, and woodpeckers visit them. The Sheriff declared a Level 2 emergency from Saturday night through Sun. morning 1/13. At 8:43 a.m. we have seen no snow from Storm Harper. On 1/15 a farm worker told me it has been impossible to harvest the last corn fields. Much of the corn has been flattened and the field conditions have prevented them from harvesting.
