Rain, Rain, And More Rain

We've landed in a rainy pattern, not like the normal pattern of heat, then afternoon thunderstorms. This has been relentless rain, then more rain, storms overnight, flash flood warnings and no period of drying out between.

The mushrooms are getting water-logged and the mold and mildew are flourishing. The patio bricks have molded. The grass is growing and is too wet to mow. Some vegetables and fruits aren't fit to eat because of the water content.

Because of the rainy weather, starting in June, KC's hooves are 'mushy.' If Skip would let him reside in the run-in shed more often maybe this wouldn't be the case. Even with the newly installed cattle-carpet and stone dust apron to the run-in shed, his feet are not perfect. Our farrier suggested applying 'Crossapol' once daily to his hooves. We'll see how that goes.

More thunderstorms are predicted for the weekend. O boy.
