0.29" of rain this week. I went a full week without having to mow the lawn and am watering flower beds generously every third day. We have an influx of crows, which I had not seen or heard for at least several years. Regardless of the dryness, the town has not banned individuals setting off their own fireworks. Lots of bangs and flashes until midnight last night, but no fire sirens. Somehow, regardless of dry conditions, my soybean crop south of here in equally dry Woodford County continues to do well.
