The endless rain is taking its toll
on my little farm
no way to ride
no way to train
really no way to even walk to the barn
without boots to my knees
Stalls are soaked
horses are bored
we need shavings, feed and hay
but getting supplies to the barn
except by wheelbarrow is impossible
last year we fought the drought
this year we are swimming in mud
little puppy girl, Gia, is not tall enough
to cross the pasture of water
I know it will pass
it always does
but the days of mud and water are
hard, long ones for us
it would be okay to stop soon, God
and this time no snakes when you are done
I completely feel you on the rain. I’m sure Libby can sympathize more, being Dev’s barn slave this week, but I am so ready for this to pass and get back in the tack. I’ll still take it over the drought of last summer, but I am definitely ready to get riding.
Stay safe out there. The weather forecast for the remainder of the week doesn’t look promising. 😦
It makes me nuts! I just wish it were ever a balanced picture-little rain, little sun. It has been nothing but extremes since 2007.
