Last night we worked on the trench, knowing it was going to rain. Tom put concrete in the base of the hydrant at the pasture trough because he thought the hole would be compromised with the rain.
While I had them in last night for dinner, KC was getting hot, just standing in the stall. So warm, it is like a little hurricane: windy, driving rain. I let them out and didn't bring them in for the night. I don't know if it was thundering, April never woke me up to let me know. This house is so quiet...
Glad we did the little bit of work we did, it really did rain and the pasture is muddy. Have to work on more sculpting with dirt to get the low spots out, and more stone dust would help, too. Also, Lil Fred's electric fence was compromised - two latches were off, one was broken, apparently stepped on. The box was not secured to the grounding post, which also was not set in the ground. The corner post was not upright. Hard to say what really happened, but somebody might have gotten shocked after it was all done.
With this warm rain and the strong breeze, the leaves are done for. It didn't take long for them to go from green to colorful to bare limbs. We are not only chasing daylight, we are racing weather. I hope the fence post holes aren't too hard to work with this weekend. So much to do, so little time left.
