Wow, it did not take the lawn long to green up after the rain this past week. One week ago, my lawn was completely parched. I couldn't detect any green. Now, it is a rich green again and will need mowing soon.

The two inches of total rainfall in the past week resulted in a few pools of water reappearing in the swamp in front of the house. The wetland still looks pretty grim, but any water is nice after looking at cracked earth.
