RAIN & WIND.........OH MY!

Wow! This is what I saw as I went to feed the horses at Safe Haven Horse Rescue on Wed. 1/20/2010! As you pull into the driveway, there is a bridge to go over...........& this is the Creek to the left side of the bridge!!! This is the creek to the Right side of the bridge! The water all converges together under the bridge.

Now we're looking at that nice 'green pasture' you've all seen Charley in!! Not so dry anymore!

Oh Dang! The poor bulletin board is thrashed once again! At least it didn't end up in the horse pen like last year!!! That thing is extremely heavy too!!! I know, cuz Me & Linda got it OUT of the horse pen last year!

Well, this WAS, Ginger & Rumtata's shelter!!! Linda R. was cutting the blowing tarp off of this shelter at MIDNIGHT, in the rain, a couple of nights back!!!! See that shelter back there? That's where we're going next!

This is from Splashes pen, & it the back side of the pretty 'green pasture'! What a mess!
The wind 'took care' of the tarp over Splash & Bailey's shelter, so we are cutting it off!! Linda R. said guess I shouldn't smile as I took this pic, but I said yes you should I'm taking your picture!!!

Of Course the wind can move Rail Road Ties off of the tarps & it can blow the Bulletin board over BUT could it blow the tarp off the peak of the shelter being held on by the tip of a screw? OH NO!!! That would have been tooo easy!!!! So ever the adventurer, Linda R. got up on Splash's feed box to get the tarp off!!! & she did!
We're still in Splash's pen & I thought you'd like to see my feet, & what we're standing in!!!!! How do you spell....eewwwe............. or how bout just plain old YUK! & I want you to know that these pants & muck boots, have been WASHED!!!! eeewwww! I thought this was bad But never fear we found Worse!!! And here it is! Billie's pen! The muck was sooooo deep in this pen, that I didn't dare take out my phone for pics, cuz it was a feat in itself just to walk!!!! Double eewww!!! The wind not only thrashed the tarp, the poles of the shelter are wrecked too"/ We cut this tarp off & dragged it out of Billie's pen, & by this time we are done feeding everybody & we're pretty done in ourselves!!!
OK, one more pic of the roaring creek, that is just behind Billie & Denny's pen!

After this pic, we went back to the barn to get the ZoomZoom, ready for the morning feeder, Chris, who has fed in the pouring rain all week!!! Lou & her hubby have been ever faithful & have come out in the rain to help her too! As you can see here, it is all about; For the Love of HORSES!

Bye for now,

Linda C.
