UPDATE....WITH PICTURES

Last night the weather started getting bad around 5pm when I put the horses in....rain and heavy winds.  At 12:15am Carol and Topper arrived, as the sheriff knocked on their door and said there was a mandatory evacuation for people in Monroe County who lived on the lake.  We were all tired and I managed to fall asleep around 1am....did not wake up until 7.  Boy did we luck out.  Did not lose power.  This morning the ground was covered with many branches and  the front paddock had shingles here and there that had blown off the barns.  So far, that was it.

I've been trying to upload some photos, but it won't work.  Will try again later.

Hope all of you are safe and dry.

Taa Daa!  It's working.
 

 A grey morning that turned into a couple hours of sunshine.

If we get much more rain, it's going to reach the front paddock from the outdoor ring.

 Lots of wind.

 Gary had to put some fence boards back up.

 Fortunately the girls were able to get out in the pasture.

 (By evening, a lot of the water disappeared).

 When chores were finished, Carol and Topper took us out for breakfast before they went back out to the lake.

After we ate, Gary went down to Jen's to watch the boys and I started picking up sticks.

 I was so sleepy this afternoon...vegged by the fire.

Then I worked on dinner. 

First I put some chicken stock in a big pot.  Added cauliflower, onions and carrots.

When it was tender, I put in in a casserole and covered it with a cheese sauce.

 Heated it through in the oven and then garnished with hard boiled eggs before serving.

The afternoon was not as bright as the morning.  Had a little more rain.  Tucked in the girls a little before six.

 Gucci and Phoebe took over my spot on he couch.

Dinner and crashing.

Thank you blogging friends, for keeping track of us.  Hope you are all ok.
Night.....
