I can’t remember the last time we had rain like we had over the weekend. I’d guess it’s been two or three years.

2.65 total for the week here. No, run off into Cedar Bluff at all.

I have been asleep at the wheel, but while I was it was raining at the Ponderosa.
May 19th 0.80"
May 25th 2.50"
May 28th 0.80"
Jun 3rd 2.30"
Jun 5th 1.15"
Jun 6th 2.00"
YTD 12.20" which is way ahead of normal(annual rainfall is 17.50").
Pastures are green, weeds in the waste areas are going like crazy. Several pairs of quail around the farmstead. I can hear roosters crowing in the distance. Seeing a fair number of turkeys. Haven't seen any lesser prairie chicken yet. Whitetail deer numbers are decent. Too many coyotes, coons, skunks and badgers, but the cover is overwhelming so hopefully the cover will help protect the young.
The faucet could turn off without warning, but at the moment there is good subsoil moisture. Praise the Lord for the excellent moisture and I pray for a bountiful year for the critters.

Do you think that the rains with cool temps had any negative effects on early broods and nests? There were a couple of mornings here in the upper 40's with rain.
