Wet and Cold

For sure fall is here. From our weatherman:

Look for a chilly start to Friday with windy weather expected.  The winds Friday should be from the northwest at 20-40 mph.  Highs will only be in the upper 40s in eastern KELOLAND. Saturday still looks chilly with highs in the lower 50s east.


We are getting rain right now and are expected to get anywhere from .25 to .50 inches of rain. I'm sure we need it, I'll never disagree to that. But with the cooler temperatures, the horses are cold. Some of the horses are trying to crowd into the leanto off the barn. I was inside working already when the rain started but I'm figuring Bo, Ivan, Brego, and Jim are standing outside (and maybe one or two others). We DESPERATELY need to get the roof back on the other leanto so that everyone has a place to go to get out of the wet and cold.

Depending on how long this rain lasts, I may be putting horses in the barn tonight (or even later today depending on how everyone is looking). I love fall but I hate a wet fall, it makes life so much more difficult. I guess it's all in preparation for winter. But it's oh so hard on the horses.
