ENERGY - Remains the same as last week. Our temperatures have average for this time of year. And, several days saw the highs and lows below average. Which in turn saves the AC from running more.
GENERAL - The area ponds and lakes continue to recover from the drought. Most ponds have returned to the normal to near normal levels. The Lakes are still catching up but certainly improving. Good news and we pray and hope it continues. |

Despite this ample rain it seems soil conditions are just mildly wet thanks to the previous week's hot and drying weather. Area waterways are up and muddy although my spring's flow has only increased slightly. And while tilling weeds the other day the soil didn't seem all that wet. Anyhow, plant life is looking great, being lush and green. Rabbits continue to multiply and have wiped out my lettuce and are working on my carrots now. Where are those hawks and owls when you need them? |

| Total rainfall over the past week was 1.26". Grass had completely stopped growing over the past couple of weeks and was starting to turn brown. This rain helped put some green back into it. Corn had been rolling leaves during the heat of the day but the rain, at least temporarily, removed that stress. We'll take all the rain we can get since the longer term forecasts are calling for a drier July and we're most likely at the beginning stages of another summer drought. |

| The lawns are now about 75 percent brown. The soil is cracking and is pulling away from the foundations and the sidewalks. The pond level is below normal. Had to regularly water the grass which I had planted in late March. Had to water my new trees. Pine trees are beginning to show minor signs of stress in my neighborhood. Local stream flow is almost nonexistent except for the Licking and Ohio Rivers. There is now a fire hazard for the following activities: 1) Fire works, 2) Barbecue Grilling, 3) Cigarette smoking outdoors and 4) Using gas powered lawn tools including the lawnmower. The grass is so dry that all it would take is a spark to start a grass fire in a lawn particularly in the very brown areas.
Yesterday, lawn care companies were only raising dust when mowing the lawns. I guess they must make still make their weekly visits to their clients in order to keep getting paid whether in needs it or not. The lawns are now the driest since October 2019 in nearly five years. The rabbits even ate my marigolds this week in the planter boxes. The dear seem to be very hungry. One tree that was planted last year wilted and had died this year due to the drought. There are a considerable amount of ants on the sidewalks, which indicate very dry conditions.
Drought Status: D0 - ABNORMALLY DRY - BEGINNING OF A DROUGHT. If a significant rainfall does not occur this weekend, the drought status will likely become D1 - MODERATE DROUGHT in our local area by early July, which has not happened since 2019. The rainfall has been very scant the last 3 weeks with only 0.15" of rainfall. According to the NWS weather forecast only a 40 percent chance of rain today and tonight.
Yesterday, I have even called the City of Wilder that I was concerned that the lawns are so dry in some areas that sparks from fireworks, barbecue grills, cigarette butts and gas powered lawn equipment could ignite some very brown lawn areas. The City of Wilder talked to the Wilder Fire Department and will be on a lookout this coming week for possible potential grass fires which could easily occur when celebrating the 4th of July Holiday. The City does not have the authority to temporary make firework bans. |

| After last week's first-ever Severely Wet, this week is showing promise for normalcy. Turtle Creek did not hit predicted Major Flood stage but began retreating after Moderate. While we did not get flood waters in our home, many basements in town are being pumped and gutted. Our sump pump discharges every 45 seconds for a couple of weeks now. Every water body in town is still overflowing its banks. Agricultural fields all have standing water that has ruined crops. City streets that were closed due to flood waters reopened in a couple of days. Township is repairing washed-out roads. Further 2.79" rain came this week on top of all that. I cannot describe the abundance of the wild black raspberry crop this wet season, as I've nothing to compare it to in my decades here, but every plant is heavy with nearly-ripe berries begging to be turned into jelly or put on ice cream. Each plant in my landscape -- shrubs, trees, perennials, lawn -- is bursting with growth like I've never seen. Wildlife in yard are active and healthy (turkeys, groundhogs, fox, raccoon, opossum). |
