Although we had nearly 1 1/2 inches of rain in the past 24 hours, it is not currently very wet. Puddles are small, the creek is up just a little, and is only a bit murky. Curiously, the pond looks a bit murky, too. Fire danger is low, weeds are sprouting and growing, shrubs are budding out, the chipmunk is not in hibernation, birds seem to be finding plenty to eat, groups of gnats, and once in a while, a bee, are seen. Newts are wandering about. Soil is muddy and soft. Time to be transplanting small trees.
