| The week started off unsettled with clouds increasing on Sunday and some rain overnight into Monday morning. Later Monday morning, thunderstorms moved through with some brief periods of heavy rain. A total of .24 inches of rain fell which was the total for the week. It was in the 80's on Sunday before cooling to a high of 68° on Monday before slowly warming back up. Highs were in the upper 80's to end the week. Lows ranged from 60° last Sunday to a low of 45° on Friday. It was windy on several of the afternoons. The surrounding open areas are continuing to brown despite the rain. The corn and beans are coming up in the vegetable garden and the roses are beginning to bloom. The garden is looking lush. A lot of birds in the garden and saw a yellow swallowtail butterfly on several occasions. Also, saw some rabbits nearby on my morning walk. |

| The dominant feature of the weather this week has been foggy mornings and evenings -- our June Gloom period. This has kept the coast cool, much cooler than inland. This morning is starting out sunny, but the fog and marine layer could return later. At least the heavy dew in the mornings have kept the landscape from drying out as quickly. Our gardens are very fragrant at the moment, with Honeysuckle, Laurel and our Rhodies in bloom. Not as many bees as usual, it seems, though. Despite the gloom, many tourists in town and a group of young divers working with Nature Conservancy are here as part of a kelp restoration project--lots riding on bringing the kelp forest back here. |

| Keeping at Near Normal, though we may be heading toward Dry. Grasses and forbs are doing nicely. Some of the currents are doing fine, others are struggling. The Boulder Raspberry has a bunch of blossoms. Is it healthy, or is it starting to panic? Soil still retains moisture just under the surface. Snow water equivalent of the snowpack is low. 79% of PRISM Normal for 6-Digit HUC (South Platte) and 18% (NOT a typo) of PRISM Normal for 8-Digit HUC (Big Thompson). WYTD (PRISM) for my station is right at 80%. Too early in the month to decide on MTD. Lots of bird activity around. Mostly wrens, swallows, humming birds, and pygmy nuthatches. Rivers are running much fuller this week than last week. Currently not fishing because it is too hard during the runoff. No fire restrictions other than the normal permanent ones. |

| General: We're pretty close to normal for the year. Our 4 year average (Sep to current) for this time of year is 19.114" and we are at 19.05". The strange part of this year is the paucity of wildlife (birds, mammals, insects). By this time we should have been having window strikes and should be working around yellow jackets and box elder bugs. Silent spring.
Agriculture: Looking good...wheat (?) is coming up, though it looks like only about half of the neighbor's fields are planted (likely because of market issues related to the tariffs). Usually nearly all fields are cultivated and planted.
Energy: Yesterday we produced 97.7 kWHR and only used 24.61 kWHR. This is the sweet spot for solar...no mechanical heating or cooling, just production.
Fire: Risk increases daily, of course. Light smoke from Northern Idaho currently.
Plants/wildlife: Again, each bee is celebrated. We've seen a couple of hummingbirds on our flowers, saw an eagle and a kingfisher. A deer yesterday in our area. Elk tracks about 3 miles up.
Water: Again, we're just about normal based on the last 4 years for liquid (and last 25 years for snow).

Prior to the rain, the US Drought Monitor still showed this station location as no drought, but conditions moving to Abnormally Dry nearby. The soaking rain boosted the nearby crops.

| I will move my condition to Mildly Dry because of my low water year totals! But my surface condition is very good and maybe on the wet side. This week I received a total of 4.18"of rain (3.09" mid week and then 1.09" last night). Last nights rain was localized. My pond is overflowing about 2 inches. Our local creek is flowing above normal but not near flood level. So, I received Junes 30 yr.avg. total in one week! I am hoping that we will receive more normal soaking rains as the month progresses. The widespread rain of midweek was handled very well by the farm fields and soaked in, I observed very little field ponding. My garden looks good. |

Right now the lawn and pasture are showing close to normal growth and the creeks and river are up to levels that look about right for early summer. Corn and beans are both growing nicely. Garden looks good except the weeds are taking over as it is too wet to hoe. |

Peas and onions continue to grow well. Hiking and mountain biking trails on Mt Greylock are still wet. Bassett Brook and the Hoosic River are both running a bit above normal. The hot weather mid-week brought out breeding American Toads that filled the air with their trilling. More snapping turtles are nesting along the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail along the Hoosic River. Blue Flag Iris, Red Clover, Daises and Ragged Robin have joined the buttercups and asters in the fields. Wet weather has made it difficult for farmers harvesting hay.

| The rain total for this week was only 0.06" (two °.03" days). While it was a light rain here, towns not too far away received some 4" in a few hours yesterday as a front slowly moved east (unofficial: 4.50" in just three hours in Woburn). TV news reported last night that Woburn received the most rain with over 4" from that storm. Huge contrast to our 0.03" only some 25 miles away.
Most of the week was very pleasant. Summerlike days, with one day reaching into the 90s, combined with sunshine brought on lots of growing plants. "No Mow May" has passed, so we mowed the lawn. Birds were following along catching bugs. Window boxes and planters are mostly filled up. Sure feels like summer is upon us. |

| Last week brought a mix of Sun and Clouds including random Rain Showers making it a nearly perfect week to keep the grasses moist, the Temps not too unbearable and opportunities to still enjoy the outdoors. As we get closer to the start of Summer, the environment is set to now sit back and just enjoy the nature around us. I have noticed with the last two summer droughts, several neighbors have started the 2-year process and covered areas of their yards with the black plastic to kill off the nuisance weeds that took over. I chose a different route with a deep tilling and re-sodding my backyard, which so far looks incredible, though time will tell the ultimate outcome through the Summer and Fall. Forecast: Temp range from high 50's to high 70's with Mostly Cloudy skies. Brief Rain Showers to start, then more significant Rain towards the end of the week. |
