Rainy Sunday

The rain started Saturday night and continued, heavy at times, the entire day. Water was seeping in around the wall penetration in the basement over the sump pump. It never amounted to anything.

The water was flowing across the parking lot, heading right onto the patio area. This water flow ended up in the well pump room in the basement.

Later in the evening the ceiling in the living room started dripping. We do need a new roof, yesterday. Our long-time contractor is already coming over this week to give us an estimate. The sooner the better.

We spent lots of time in the barn today. Not only the usual horse-keeping chores, but took the time to clean up Sprite and fix her hair. Her mane is finally long enough to lay on the proper side, growing out from being roached when she was younger. She'll be three in June.

Skip got brushed, but he is not shedding like KC or Lil Fred and he wasn't very muddy.

Tom wormed them all, except for KC. He apparently would not let Tom administer the syringe in his mouth. I did it later, but he didn't like it. Wasn't his usual easy, sweet guy. I also cleaned him up; he is really shedding. I also braided his forelock, his hair is so long and beautiful.
