Damummis'- Auf wiedersehen

I am on an island in the gulf of Maine, east of Portland.

Can you lock everyone up in the barn (except what you said you're taking with you) and just leave lots of hay and water? They'll be alright hopefully. Hopefully by the time it reaches y'all it'll have weakened considerably!

Do you have any loft in the barn?

I would try to pen them all with food and water as high and dry as possible.

That is what I plan to do. My only concern is if we have to leave we may not be able to get back if the bridge is taken out.

Do you have a friend on the mainland with facilities where you can cart the big animals today?
The back of a pickup can hold a lot of goats and sheep in a pinch.

No sides to speak of.

Alright I have an idea!

Just trying to lighten things up a bit!

If you want to mark the animals, they do make a marker just for that. I got the last pack they had in TSC. I wrote my name, phone number and the animals name on all of my horses. Plus, since Stormy is underweight due to his heaves, I wrote on him that he's on meds. That way, if they should get out, hopefully, no one would think he needs to be seized. They're not calling for it to get bad until later tomorrow, so I figured this would give me a chance to see how well this worked, and if I need to, I can rewrite it tomorrow.

I love the color of summer veggies. Most of these tomato seeds were from the TEG seed swap. I am sure some of Zilla's seeds grew some of these tomatoes.
