Been away the past couple of weeks backpacking the Appalachian Trail. In that time, trees have completely leafed out. All crop planting has been completed, a stretch of 90 degree highs occurred replacing second warmest days on record, and about 1.5 inches of rain has fallen. Grass has been mowed twice and looks great combined with some cooler temps the past week, which averaged 2.7 degrees above normal. Garden has been planted as well. We need some rain, and hopefully the coming Tuesday/Wednesday system will deliver.
