It was a week ago yesterday that the storm hit and attempted to demolish everything on the farm. We haven't had time to even begin cleaning up. Last night, it came back for more. I was at work, James had Stella in the tub when the storm rolled up the driveway. No pictures this time because I am just to disgusted with the whole thing. We lost another tree, this time in the llamas lower field, just inches from the fence. I had been fixing up one of the chicken houses that got twisted up the week before. That one flew over the truck and about 50 yards down the hill. Inside our egg house, the hens lay in covered litter boxes and dog houses. James said the boxes were in flight inside the house!! Bench swing in the back yard flipped over, again. Stella's swimming pool flew about 500 yards to the pig pen! The reason the inexpensive blow up pool is so important to us is that we lost three pools last Summer in storms. Literally, they were lost, only one was recovered on the neighbors property!
Now it's T-Minus 5 days till the baby chicks arrive. We built a Super Duper Brawny Strong chicken house today, just one more wall and the roof and it will be complete. Keep your fingers crossed!
The garden loves all the rain, but it's pretty battered from the wind and hail.
The animals are just pissed. They are over this weather. The dogs never leave the garage (Rowen is terrified of storms). The llamas never leave their carport, and the chickens never leave their boxes. The ducks may not care for the storms, but they love the aftermath...Big mud puddles everywhere!!!
