It rained when I walked out to the barn....
It rained when I turned the horses out....
The kittens stayed on the porch because it was raining....
The doors were open at both ends of one of the run-ins so the horses would want to get out of the rain (and didn't).
Pony would not get under the shed roof so I locked her in the back stall of the horse barn run-in while we left the farm for awhile. She was just getting too wet.
When we met Jenny for lunch at the Light House there was a torrential downpour....
When we got home, the horses were out eating grass and Pony was not happy so I let her out...in the rain.
When the rest of them saw me, they came up to the barn thinking it might be time to go in.
They love rolling in the indoor when they are soaked.
What a mucky mess.

| Gary went down to pick up Finn and Coop when they got off the school bus. |
 |
| I started a fire and got things ready for dinner. |
Obviously, Seymour and Sid had never seen one. When I opened the door to put in the wood, they thought it would be a nice place to explore.
 |
| The room heated up quickly and it was nap time. |
 |
| When the boys arrived they wanted to get under some covers on our comfy couch. |
The pups and kittens would not leave them alone.
As it was almost 5 and it was still pouring, I decided to put the horses in early. They were lookin' lovely...
Dinner time! Pancakes, sausage and homemade applesauce.
By 7:05 the rain stopped and the sky looked like this!
 |
| As if they did not have enough to eat...the boys wanted popcorn. |
 |
| Finn did his homework and then it was time for Sequence. |
Finn won the game and Coop packed up the popcorn to go.
Checked out the ponies...Barb was out there. Now it's couch time....I'm so glad the rain stopped.
Night all.

With all the rain today the Skoog Farm looked like a cozy place to be with the boys, pets, fire, games, dinner, etc. going....hmm...the good life!
I :)
No rain here... sure could use some too !
I am gonna rub in our very warm and sunny weather here in Oregon...we so rarely get to do that:-) Rain will be with us soon enough....
Rain has got to be the worst with farm animals and chores. I do not like the muck or being wet. Glad it finally stopped. Normally we have so rain, but the skies have been clear for a couple weeks now. We may just go right to snow which would be fine by me. Hope you have a sunny day tomorrow.
We are drenched here as well! So glad to actually see some sun today. The only animal here that will seek shelter when it rains is my sweet donkey.
OH!! Those ponies are too funny with being out in the rain!!! Mine want to come in almost instantly, with the onset of it !
Nice Taoasty fire and Seymore peeking into it..cute!.The boys cuddled on the couch...looked so nice..it really is the only place to be on those kinds of evenings...at least till popcorn time!
Your dinner looked and sounded yummos!
Hope today is a lighter, brighter day with little to no rain. I can live with the every oither or every third day bright and or sunny!

Yesterday (Thursday) was a lovely day. But today the East of England was cold and wet most of the day. Still, got a lot done in the workshop.
Cheers, Mike.
