| We are into a week of 'winter weather' clear and cold (20's)and now off/on overcast with snow flurries, rhubarb and berry bushes budding and leafing out...a little worry about freezing out the berries this year. birds seem to be gathering nesting material and have been back hitting the feeders more than the last few weeks...no migrators yet. No bear sign either-hopefully not for another month as nothing for them to eat. Black tail deer seen more frequently at the road edges.Streams have little water in them and are mostly frozen over. We are coming into the fire season with a lot of exposed dry grass and bushes. |

| Indoor humidity approached 70% in all indoor rooms during and after the recent rainstorm. Acquired a small room dehumidifier and placed on floor in affected room with goal <60% humidity. Humidifier collected 1/3 cup of clear watery fluid that was measurably more acidic (pH 6.0 v 8.4), less dense, and less chlorine (0 ppm) than tap water today. Humidity near dehumidifier was 10% lower than humidity in other rooms. Indoor and outdoor humidity today renders the electric dehumidifier unnecessary. |

| In our case, San Antonio, TX is in exceptional drought. Measurable rain, .09, was last in my gage two weeks ago. In January 2024, the city had over 4 inches of rain, and my backyard had a good start. This year, the ground is hard with very little grass or even weeds. The Mexican Sycamore I planted last year is thriving because I water it with 40 gallons of water each week and plenty of fertilizers and mulch. With a dog that likes to dig, I grow plants and veggies in containers. I've really waited for four years to invest in good St. Augustine turf grass. September can be an ideal time in San Antonio if weather is normal. |
