| Monsoon moisture stuck around for most of the week but not a lot of rain here. On Wednesday, there were thunderstorms all around with lots of thunder and heavy rain nearby but only .10 inches fell at this location. Some smaller amounts a couple of other days but only a total of .14 inches for the week. Moisture waned some at the end of the week but didn't completely go away but no rain. It was hot to begin and end the week with a bit of a cool down with the rain mid week. The high of the week was 93° last Sunday. The low of the week was 49° also last Sunday with lows in the 50's for the rest of the week. Some windy weather with storms in the area but otherwise, not much wind. No change to the surrounding wildland areas with some green plants and lots of dry grasses and other plants. Saw the robin in the bird bath and finches and hummingbirds in the garden. Also, saw a garter snake in the yard and a ground squirrel next door. |

| General: Still mildly dry. We actually have reached our July 4-year average on moisture (expected = .39", received = .45") thanks to a healthy rain this week. Soil moisture is measured at 35% at 3". Our 4 year average for moisture at this point in the water year is 19.14", and we're at 18.81, so not horribly dry.
Agriculture: The rain this week was quite welcome, and has made the crops happy. The wheat is heading out, and the mustard is beautiful.
Energy: Well into high production, while still low in consumption. We generated 94.97 kWHR yesterday through solar panels, and only used 24.18 kWHR. We haven't really had to use air conditioning yet because we've weatherized the house deeply.
Fire: Risk dropped thanks to the rain. It made 4th of July a lot safer up here.
Plants/wildlife: A few more insects, but still pretty puny compared to our expectation. We should see many more moths, yellow jackets, bees, but not so. We have a few hummingbirds that visit the feeder (we're feeding in the hopes of supporting struggling pollinators). Overall, a frighteningly quiet spring and now summer.
Water: Optimistic at this point, as we're close to normal |

| For the majority of last week, it was really warm and dry. There was no precipitation until yesterday afternoon with a soaking rain of 0.74". June ended up near normal, with only a MTD NOAA Norm deficit of 0.62". The US Drought Monitor again has this station on the edge of a small circle of no drought conditions, with Abnormally Dry conditions just a couple miles away. I have been providing supplemental watering to the garden and my potted plants. Grass has really slowed, but it is still green and showing very little sign of stress. The corn field next to me has already tasseled out and the beans look good. Go a couple miles down the road, the corn is not as tall and is showing signs of stress and the beans look slow growing. The Green and Rock Rivers are holding steady and at their summer norm. The Mississippi River is still on the rise but should level off this week about a little over a foot below Action Stage at the Lock and Dams at Rock Island and LeClaire. |

The trees are showing some signs of the drought, water loving trees like my birch actually have some leaves turning brown and falling. I refill bird baths 2-3 times a day-it's heartbreaking to see the poor birds outside panting, but they really appreciate the cool water and taking baths when it is this hot. The corn loves this weather, but tasseling has begun, so the corn will need rain. The beans aren't doing as well and are showing stress. |

Some plants indicate loss of turgidity in their leaves. Wildlife activity appears normal, but pond level is down several inches (in part due to cranberry irrigation).

Plants are beginning to shift from early bloomers to mid-summer flowers. Yucca plants opened their flower spikes this week, a few Shasta daisies flowered as well. Buds on the Rose of Sharon and goldenrod continue to get bigger, while most of the milkweed flowers have passed (a few are already creating their seed pods). The clematis that kind of cooked in the heat a couple weeks ago has created a new vine with new buds - determined to flower this year as it has for some forty years now. Produce at the farm stores and farmers market is nearing the end of strawberries, blueberries and corn are now available.
We had perfect weather for the 4th of July, comfortable temps, low humidity and no clouds (for most) to diminish the fireworks. Weather forecasters are predicting higher temps, afternoon thunderstorms, and typical summer days. |

Painterville Creek through Warren Dunes State Park is low and slow. Most corn was at least waist high by the 4th of July. The weather and holiday weekend generated heavy outdoor recreation activity.
