The week started with a 1.22" rain and then added a 0.23" rain 4 days later for a reported total 1.45". My condition remains normal but not dry like last week! The water has greened up some of the dry patches of my lawn and increased the pond level a couple of inches but not quite enough to have any overflow. The local creek is flowing a little more this week too. The ground soaked up much of these rains, so runoff was not a big deal. The farmers lost only one day this week waiting for the fields to dry up enough to continue our harvest. Many of the corn fields have been picked and some have been tilled while the bean fields have not been started yet.
