Not Everyone Likes The Rain!

10/8/2015

Some serious wet stuff fell from some very heavy grey clouds yesterday. After a Summer of unbroken  blue cloudless skies and unrelenting sunshine not everyone on the ranch was overjoyed to witness the arrival of the Autumn season. The feathered residents of the shack retreated under the protective eaves of the chicken house watching the raindrops fill the moonscape craters dug through the parched Summer months. Bella the beautiful golden Jersey and Sirloin the little red Dexter steer stretched their heads out of the warm dry cedar barn and were persuaded reluctantly to venture through the expanding puddles out into the pasture. Bran the Border Collie and little Luke "encouraged" Barney and his woolly harem from the security of the sheep pen through the relentless sheeting rain down a wet and muddy Cow Lane. The horses turned their tails into the wind and perfected the portrait of misery as manes and tails dripped into growing puddles around muddy hooves and Greg and I sadly re evaluated the economic relevance of the Home Depot, made in China plastic gutters as water cascaded through joints, expanded by the heat of the Summer months. Tiger and Shy the sibling and now aged barn cats, no lovers of wet weather skirted the edge of the barn, carefully keeping little feline paws and keen cats whiskers out of the enlarging puddles and dripping gutters. Happily, Erin and I utilized the cascading gutter overflow and effortlessly cleaned and refilled stall buckets..unhappily, an unexpected cold water drip down my back from the overflowing gutters was a harsh reminder of the onset of the winter months.
"You are my buddy, you are my friend, we'll be together 'till the end" . Please spare a moment to pray for someone special to us who really need your prayers right now. Stay strong Mum J. We love you.
Take care, keep safe, M
