| 1.14 inches of moisture in the last 100 days is about half of normal for us. If we hadn't received 6.37 inches of moisture in November we would be hurting for moisture. The warm weather and windy conditions have dried it out on top and raised the fire danger. The wheat is growing and looks good for this time of year but will need more moisture in the coming weeks to make a good crop. The warm dry weather is great for the cattle and workers taking care of them. |

| Though we've had some snow this winter this area is still generally dry. This week we had a bit of moisture on the ground Tuesday morning, but nothing measurable in the rain gauge. Winds have been brutal, particularly Tuesday evening through Wednesday, and again on Friday. 30-40 mph, with gusts exceeding that. Temperatures during the day have been 40's and 50's, but the wind makes it feel colder and skies overcast. Most nights it's been below freezing - at least the chicken water has been frozen when I do morning chores. No signs of spring yet with plants starting to green. Everything is still brown with the exception of wheat. |

The soil is too soggy to work, and the lawn feels soft when stepped on. Lawn weeds are rapidly growing while the lawn grasses remain dormant but are starting to green up. Over the years, I’ve noticed ruts formed by mower tires developing in wetter areas of the yard. This spring, I’m determined to address these low areas by filling them in and cultivating the soil in the area. |

I checked the Doppler radar and it shows more rain is on the way, and this will go a long way in further improving soil moisture. Next, our Eastern Redbud trees continue to develop pink flower buds, and it is my hope to see flowers bloom soon.

| Fire danger is low and backyard burning season is open. Many people are using the opportunity to clean up debris from the winter storms and from the stuff left behind as trees and more have been pruned to protect power lines. The creek has dropped nearly a foot since the high at the end of February, but it is still flowing fast and noisy. Last Sunday the Clackamas river was observed to be above its usual water line, and quite muddy looking. Daffodils and crocus are blooming, and weeds are growing. Soil is quite moist, and works fairly easily in the garden plots. Some spots may still be muddy. We have lost two fawns recently, and the neighbors have lost 3 large mature chickens. Not sure of the cause, but since all I have found had broken necks (but were not much eaten on, I suspect perhaps a stray dog). It has been freezing the past 4 nights, so I've needed to protect my sprouting seeds and winter greens. The dry days this week have been conducive to getting a lot of outside work done. I've seen people mowing their lawns for the first time this year. Mine needs a little mowing also, but I haven't done it yet. |

River and stream flows are near normal; grass and pastures are still the drab brown that they usually are at this time of year, but now with a hint of green; our horses still don't have forage and subsist on hay and grain; nearby farms are planting and tilling, and now, as an added bonus, we have crocus, snowbells and even some daffodils beginning to poke through the soil. Of an added note however, we have had fire restrictions in place this week due to the dryness and the high winds. |
