i check national weather service. They are reliable. Today said 20% thunder showers. ok. but i got easy and went off to work Away without covering the alfalfa after the morning feed. I like to leave it open to air out as much as possible. Came home and lay on the futon for the afternoon nap, everything just ok and nothing in the wind. But then out of the blue, like literally OUT OF THE BLUE blue sky.....
STORM.
from the East....maybe kin to Harvey.....but a STORM. probably the second biggest storm in the 20 some years i've lived here and being from the East, causing trouble. The open ends of all the Goat shelters face east because weather rarely comes from that direction. Everyone pretty much got wet.
The Albatros, where the grass hay is stored...a lot got wet. The alfalfa bale, uncovered, got wet. A lot of loss in feed. Bummer. But even though there was HAIL, there we all were, when SUN broke through and there was a double Rainbow and Gideon was mumbling as he does.
Compared to Texas, nothing. Compared to here, a LOT.
