Flooding Hazard

I thought we might flood due to all the snow we received this winter. Now with all this extra rain, we will for sure flood! I didn't get a chance to really do anything with the horses again last night. Work has really stressed me out and I fell asleep before going out to the chores. Least to say, the horses were a bit grumpy.

The weatherman is now talking a potential for snow. So now I'm perplexed. What if I have to put the horses in the barn to dry out from the soggy snow? The barn is soaked too so it won't really help any, other than they won't have rain/snow falling on them. But they will have to stand in wet straw.

If I had more corral panels and more time before/after work, I'd set up some stalls in the shed at the top of the hill. But I'm out of corral panels and don't have time in the morning to halter and lead all 13 horses out to the pen. As it is, I'm cutting it short doing chores in the morning.

I need to figure out a new system for chores. Although after this weekend daylight savings time will kick in and I'll have an extra hour to do chores and possibly get more done outside (even if it IS wet out)!

I guess I'm just stressing. Maybe if I can get some stuff done this weekend I'll feel a little less stressed. Or if it would stop raining and there wouldn't be any chance of snow I'd be less stressed. But I guess I wont' complain. The weather is in the 30s instead of below zero. I do like warmer weather even if it reaks havoc on everything!
