About the Weather


There has been severe weather across the mid-west; tragic, destructive storms with numerous fatalities and property damage. This same weather system rolled through our area leaving a couple inches of rain that finally cleared out mid-day.

The boys spent Friday night in because it was soaking wet yet the temps were mild. I brushed them both out after they dried out. KC is really shedding!

The Hawk also was in the hayloft again after not being there since last Friday. I made a dash for a bale and got out of there!

The rained cleared out mid-day, sunny with blue skies, drying breezes. Not drying enough for riding. Later in the day Skip was loitering near the gate so I brought them out the rest of the bale.

Getting more hay I discovered the Hawk still in the barn! She not only spent the night in the barn but most of the day. I opened up the loft double doors, got out of her way and she silently flew through the doors, across the pasture, making a right down to the creek.

A clear night, Jupiter and Venus sparkling in the southern sky, everybody is staying out.

  1. You don't have the worry of tornadoes where you're at do you?

  2. No, by the time those weather systems get here they are just windy, with heavy rains. Further East of us, in another county (Charles) there have been tornadoes, but it happens there because of the terrain and the Chesapeake Bay creating the correct scenario for those weather systems to collide. Several years ago La Plata was leveled from a tornado.
