Denim Deb Hay, hay, hay. Thank the Lord!

Not sure. They keep changing where it's going to hit and when. And, I haven't checked TWC lately.

I just checked TWC. And, out of the 8 possible tracks, 5 of them practically go over my house!

I just know it's not coming our way for a change. .

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Well, you hang in there - literally! You ain't seen nothin' 'till you've experienced 100+mph winds!

Sending serious prayers and good wishes your way....Stay safe!

 

[Denim Deb]

I just know it's not coming our way for a change. .

So you sent it MY way?

 

[mrscoyote]

maybe? the down side is, it's pulling the cold northern air down across us. Brrrr.

 

[Happy to be Me]

I'm not far from Mrscoyote and she isn't kidding about the cold! But I'll take that over a major storm. Hope it turns out to be less severe than expected for you. Stay safe.

Right now, all we've had so far is a couple of showers and wind. Of course the wind had to pick up just as I was heading to the farm to put the tarp on the hay. Do you know how hard it it to put up a 20x30 ft tarp by yourself in the wind? It would have been much easier if I could find my ladder, but someone "borrowed" it and now I can't find it. So instead, I was using my 2 step mounting block to get up high enough to scramble on top of a RB. Then I was able to throw a rope over the bales stacked higher and get the tarp tied down. I'm not sure how good it's tied, though. I thought I had a 75' rope in my truck but it wasn't there. So, I'll take a rope out w/me when I go to do Stormy's 2nd feeding. Then, we're having a riding club meeting. Once that's done, I'll be able to come home and hide in my house-until tomorrow. No evening church service tonight due to the weather.

I got the tarp tied down better and it's a good thing I did. The rope I had used wasn't the greatest and it broke. So, I was able to secure it better. And just a FYI, if you lean a pallet up against a RB, you can use it for a ladder.

Of course, it started to rain lightly right about when I got there. And, I was in a rush so I didn't bother to put my rain gear on. So, I got a bit wet. KN actually helped me. I have one of those large muck style buckets in Stormy's stall. It's filled. I have a small bucket in Misty's stall. It's filled. (Since she only really needs it when she's eating, I figured she'd be fine w/that. And Honey and Licorice both have 2 5 gallon buckets in their stalls. I put all their afternoon hay in their stalls, so they don't have to go out in the rain unless they want to.
