Finally rain!  It has been 96 days since our last one inch rain event but it happened.  Our irrigation lake has a very large watershed as exhibited by the amount of recharge we experienced.  We received 1.2" Wednesday and that amount nearly filled the lake.  The drought is not over but this is a huge help.  We will resume seeding next week as well as some other work put off by the drought.

 

Four lake on Tuesday.  Is that corn growing?

 

 

Thursday morning and the lake is nearly full.  Generally 1.5" rain events will fill the lake.

Female Ginkgo with stinky fruit.  These trees will be a brilliant yellow next week and then the leaves will suddenly drop.

 

 

What a sunrise!
