This past week saw some beneficial rain.  With 1.50" on Tuesday, there is a surplus of 121% for the month and the YTD and Water YTD remained in the mid 80th percentile for NOAA norm.  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.  My garden and plants are looking good as does my lush, green grass.  Area rivers holding steady again this week at near normal levels.
