Sweet Music

The drops started while we were still on our walk. Luckily Diane offered her golf cart for a quick trip back to the barn. The rain is cold but so welcome. It is like music pounding on the metal roof and slamming against the windows. For the first time in weeks there are puddles outside the door. The temperature right now in Hanna City is a chilly 48 degrees outside but inside sipping a hot cup of honey sweetened tea makes this place warm and cozy. Cor Arianna needs to be covered today and not that we want the rain to stop but hopefully this afternoon we will have a short break in the showers, just enough to get the job done. Baling twine was strung between the stalls to help dry the laundry.

The show leadropes are now clean and white, as soon as they are dried will be put in the show tubs. The saddle pads will be placed in the black tubs with the English saddles. 2:10pm-2:25pm the rain stopped long enough to get Cor Arainna covered by Raven then started sprinkling again just as she was put away. So thankful for this life giving rain. The fields are already turning green.
