Water supply quality and quantity are good for human consumption. There are still a number of animal prints [deer, fox, coyote, and various birds to include, the usual yard birds and ducks and swans] around the pond. The outdoor temperature is still cool to cold which requires the people to keep their heat source turned on. We are still about 5 inches below the normal amount of rain/snow for the year. There still is a fire band in place for now. The grass and other vegetation are starting to be noticeable and will need to be managed. |

| With only 0.07" of precip over the week soil conditions have gone from mildly wet to near normal. Area waterways have dropped slightly and are near their normal levels. The weather has been pretty quiet lately with cool temps predominating. The trees are still mostly bare along with most of the underbrush, excluding the infamous Morrow's Honeysuckle of course. Area lawns are greening up nicely and a few have already been mowed with my lawn not far behind. Wildlife is busy enough and a couple of dramatic events took place recently. First off, a Cooper's hawk was chasing a local crow, with what looked like serious intentions. Almost always it's the crows chasing the hawk. Also our two resident geese were doing their usual thing, just sitting down, only to be attacked by a red fox. It was textbook action, with the geese holding out their wings and intimidating the fox into semi retreat. I cracked open the front door in my failed attempt to get a picture but the fox had had enough, instantly heard me and took off at full speed. The geese thanked me later by leaving their droppings all over my driveway. |

Beautiful weather began on Tuesday. Cool and comfortable. Bragging rights type of weather all week. By Friday, the ground had dried out aided by dry northerly winds. Large containers of flowers were watered on alternate days. Glyphosate has done its job on the front lawn where tilling and grading are planned. Area drainage ditches are dry, and bayous are very low due to northerly winds. Wild birds are getting drinking water from the bird bath and fish pond. |

| Spring is in full swing. The weather is fickle, the grass needs mowing, but is always wet; the garden needs planting, but it is muddy too. Fire danger is low. The creek is high. Cherry trees are in full bloom, also my pear tree, some of the apple trees; and the flowering plum finally has fat green buds. The daffodils are continuing on, a few tulips have bloomed, lilies of the valley and stinging neetles are growing like weeds. The hens must be happy for they are laying quite well. Mice, voles, shrews, and moles are active, and the barn cats are having fun. The abundance of stuff to mow means that I can make some hot beds for my garden seedlings, so I'm shoveling the soil out, and making layers of compost - hoping to have it heaped up in a few days and shovel the soil back in. Plant nurseries in the area have been busy, and tree farmers are culturing their trees. The grain crops planted last fall are looking good. Some fields are being limed. The Clackamas River is full, but I don't think it's flooding. Robins are singing before dawn and after sunset. Swallows are buzzing our swallow house. I've seen a killdeer and osprey this week. Earthworms are up near the surface sometimes, snakes might be lying in sunny areas, and I found a few big grubs in the garden beds. Box elder bugs are showing up more and more. |
