More Rain

 Rain rain and more rain. It seems like it has been raining everyday or at least every 24 hours as sometimes the rain comes at night. Today it was misting on our walk. Ruth brought Farkash who was very interested in the logs at Spark and Rhonda's house. 

I spent the morning in the barn organizing the sheets and towels and of course cleaning. We have guests moving in tomorrow. They are a track team who are just staying the one night then another group moves in on Saturday at noon. I really needed an extra set of towels and sheets to help flip the barn. Joan's family went to Medieval times with the Co-op. She called at 1:15 pm to report the camper was fixed and ready to be picked up.  I needed to back the stock trailer in to where that belonged. Mark helped unhook it and we were on our way to Tri County RV to pick up the camper.

Joan took it in because the slide out wasn't working so I was not sure what the bill would be to fix that. Well it turned out the slideout wasn't working because the dust pan had fallen and jammed it. I sent Joan the picture below telling her the slide out broke our dustpan.

We were backing the trailer in at Joan's when Fedi called, he was at the barn ready to pick up batteries.  Mark was giving him all the old batteries from when he replaced them with the lithium. I asked Mark why Fedi wanted the batteries and Mark said, "for the lead inside."  Of course my first thought was "Oh NO, Fedi is making bullets." Fedi escaped Romania during the dictatorship of Ceausescu and NEVER wants to be subject to a corrupt government again so I wouldn't put it past him to melt his own ammo.

The rain just kept coming. This evening Mark was walking around outside checking things and came in to tell me 2 waterers were leaking, Valiant's and the middle paddock. That meant getting the boots back on and sloughing through the mud to see if I could adjust the float. I was able to stop both but will make sure tomorrow that they are still filling with water.  While out there Rosaleigh was given the shot to short cycle her. Of course this was all in the rain and I was drenched by the time I got back inside. It is only 60 degrees and that rain felt really cold. The horses all seem to be fine. The rain just rolls off their coats. They were all mostly standing in their shelters eating hay.
