More rain. Rain, rain, rain. I don't think it is ever going to stop. I am surprised at how well the property is holding up with all of the wetness. Being from the Fraser Valley, I am used to the mud but there is not much here (which I can thank David and Sarah for...their planning and use of crusher dust seems to have saved everything). I can no longer count on my fingers the number of times I have nearly ended up on my rear end in the goat paddock though. It is awfully slippery where the goats have made a path and when darkness falls at 3:00 (as it did yesterday with the storm), avoiding those spots are pretty hard.
This morning when I went to feed the horses, all the hay had been eaten, which is surprising as they had a bale and a half at least between the two feeders and the hay nets in the shelter. I soon found though, that they had ripped the zap straps on the top of the new feeder and had a 'hay day' with it. I'm so glad that was easily fixable.
On the plus side, I haven't had to fill water buckets or have a shower lately- the rain seems to be taking care of that just fine.
I'm currently taking advantage of the break from school by reading one or two of my favorite books again (which means that I'm not getting as much other things done as I'd like to. I tend to get lost in my book). I usually read myself to sleep, which means that I sometimes fall asleep on the couch. When I woke up on Wednesday morning last week, I saw this. I can tell you that the first words out of my mouth were not pleasant ones. I keep track of the news so that I can be prepared when it snows. This recent snowfall was a complete surprise. I'm back to school in a week! Yay! I actually love university (maybe I need a life?) and am excited to go back and see everyone again.
