The 0.17 in. of rain March 1-3  quickly evaporated so that we had dust storms on March 3 and 6.  This morning the soil is wet due to the 0.16 in. of rain and snow last night.  We are oscillating between wet and dry this month. The overall condition is still moderately dry due to very little precipitation December through February.  Trees seem to be healthy at the moment; they are in bloom.  The fruit trees are blooming too early.  There will surely be another freeze to ruin them before summer arrives.  Field plants have not yet come to life for this season.  Our fire danger is high on the dry, windy days.  Our water supply is adequate.
