Not Gone With The Wind

We're still here. We're quite soggy, but safe. Friday was a very dark day with some wind, but man did it ever rain! It rained hard for hours and hours with some boomers thrown in to keep us alert. We spent the evening watching Oklahoma get hit again and checking the weather map every few minutes. The worst storms went around us. We had so much rain that the splashing pool filled to the top. Norma Jean was pleased to discover it Saturday morning and had a good splash before breakfast.

The grass and trees enjoyed the rain and we're green again after two years of dusty drought.

The rock garden even sprouted into green again.

The little girls shed their plastic bonnets today after I checked the incisions. They're all healed up and though I'm not permitting any wrestling for a few more days, they're happy to be free again. Syd was a good patient. Mac, not so much.

After the storms of the last few days we were all ready to run in the yard. Even Morgan got into the running.

So what if she's going in the opposite direction from all the others? At her age those things don't matter any more.

 

 

They needed to use up some of that energy that was building up during stormy days.

Do you wonder where Sebastian is while the others are running back and forth? He's sitting next to his person, of course.

He's not going to let Rob out of his sight.

Thanks to all who wrote or called to check on us. We're still here, but there was a casualty.  Though Mama Cardinal sat on her nest all through the storm, she was unable to keep the rain from flooding her home. This morning we found the contents of the nest on the ground and Mama was gone. I hope she chooses a safer place to rebuild.
