It's Raining and Pouring and Raining and Pouring

I'll bet that between last night and right now (6:15pm) we have had over 3 inches of rain.

 The girls were out for about an hour and I put them back in their stalls.  

This is colic weather and they were getting soaked...just could not worry about them.

So, they spent the afternoon snoozing and eating hay.

 

 After chores I continued working on the setup in the indoor and barely had time for a shower before the jam group started to arrive.

We decided to park all of their vehicles inside the barn so their equipment would not get wet.

A tailgate party.

 Unfortunately it is too hard to host, play and take pictures so I did not do very well in that department.

 There were 14 of us performing and another 25-30 that joined us.

 It poured the entire time and the temperature in the barn was around 50.

After all these beautiful days, this had to be the worst!

We ended the afternoon with a pot luck supper and the food was outstanding!

 Mac and Cheese, meatballs, braised beef in a fabulous sauce, vegetarian chili, sausages in BBQ sauce, green salads, pasta salad, mac salad, homemade bread, baked beans, veggie and fruit platters with cheese, outrageous cheese dip, tortillas, cookies, apple cake, apple Betty and more.  A real feast.  Lots of hot coffee and cider.

 Thank heaven Karen and I traded chores today.  I went out to check on the girls and she was already here.  Soooooo tired!  Gary worked his butt off yesterday and today going back and forth and back and forth.  Love having things in the barn, but it's a lot of work.

 This extreme weather is getting more frequent.

 After being in the house all day, Phoebe and Little Wonder went with me to the indoor while we were hauling in some of the food etc. Of course they were soaked within minutes.

Tomorrow they are going to need some serious attention.

I am toast!

Night all.
