Rain

We had a shower during the night, heard it pounding on the roof and fell back asleep with a smile on our faces. Once more toward morning another small shower came through. We were a little disappointed this morning to see how little standing water was left in the feed buckets so both showers were not long or hard enough to do much good, however we have an 84% chance of another shower by 10:00am and again at 2:00pm according to weather.com. Clair's filly is doing so well running and bucking in the stall, she and Clair were turned out and will stay out as long as these storm clouds are covering the heat of the sun. Eliza is still in season and moved to the breeding shed. Mytross was put in with the herd. If it is cool enough tonight and Eliza is still in we will bring Raven over for a visit. Now everybody in the area is praying for rain EXCEPT Rebekah and Brian. They scheduled Rachel of momentscapturedbyrachel.com for wedding pictures at Middle Grove. The photo shoot has now been moved to the farm but if the storms start up as predicted, plan C will need to be put into place. Mark is working on replacing the broken posts in paddock 1. We put the auger on the skid steer but that is low on fuel. Two 5 gallon containers were loaded in the car and taken in to Hanna City only to find that town has no electricity and none of the pumps are working. I didn't want to drive in to Peoria and headed back. We will just hope it doesn't run out for the 4 holes that need digging.
