I wish I could say it's 70 degrees and sunny in Florida. But it's flooding badly on the east coast and guess where I live? Some of my friends at the barn homes are flooding, I have been lucky so far, just a little bit of wet by the patio doors, but it's coming!
The horse's are standing in water, the barn has flooded and other horse owners have stopped by looking for drier ground for their supplies and horses. I hate to turn people down but really we don't have any available stalls and we are flooded too!
I will have to put training on the back burner even when it dries out around here because the horse community will need help getting put back together. I saw my neighbor stalled in the road as I was coming back from the barn and I pulled him to his house with my jeep. Then some guys came by and said there house was flooding and they couldn't get sandbags because of some county thing. Since my house is not flooding and I can get sand bags I called the city to have some delivered for the guys. A little while later I saw a city truck with sand bags drive by so I ran out the front door and out into the river but the sands bags weren't for me. Apparently I will see trucks all day long delivering sand bags and that I am on the list, but there is no need to stop every truck. Hehehe. The driver and I laughed about me chasing down the truck. You have to have a sense of humor about things and pray a lot. Makes life better.....
