There was a 50/50 chance of rain here yesterday! Whoo-hoo! Pop the champagne!
Lucy and I rode extra early in the day to beat the storm. I moved hay and did all the other chores
that would be made difficult by the impending mud. Then we waited.
Just before dinnertime, the skies began to darken.
The wind picked up.
The clouds could not have looked more promising. I got everyone fed,
then Smooch and I retired to the sunroom rainroom to watch the show.
Smooch: Sure looks like it's going to rain.
Me: It's just a matter of time!
Smooch: Sure smells like it's going to rain.
Me: If there were a perfume called Eau de Rain, I would wear it.
Smooch: The rain is so close, I can almost taste it!
Smooch: Mom, why isn't it raining?
Smooch: I'm getting kinda bored here.
Smooch: The rain passed us by again, didn't it?
Boo on the rain miss, but that is the cutest dog toy!
ReplyDeleteWell, you remember what ALWAYS works in suburbia....try washing your truck!
ReplyDeleteHow about a rain dance. I think there are way to many people dancing up here. It hasn't stopped raining for days.
ReplyDeleteBest always,
And wash the windows, then leave them all open. I know how you feel, waiting for rain. We finally got enough to maybe get us through the summer.
ReplyDeleteIf washing the truck and the windows doesn't work, I wonder what would happen if you washed the herd?
so sorry it passed you by, it sure looked like rain... just think, we would have missed all these photos of smooch if you were not watching for it, so you did get a big benefit anyway...
ReplyDeleteSmooch is so incredibly expressive, I swear, I hear her voice. Watering all the plants does it here.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is you got ready for the rain; next time completely unprepared for the impending mud and it will happen :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, though!
Uggghhhh....We are a little dry, and it's only been a week for us. I cannot imagine having no rain since Feb. I shall do a little rain dance for you!!
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't get any rain. Boo, hiss. But tell us about smooth's toy, please.
ReplyDeletewell, waiting gave you great blog photos while you waited. I would LUV to send you some of our rain from northern Alberta!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, no! I can feel the disappointment. It is so discouraging to see the storms part and go around - yup, we've been there too many times!
ReplyDeleteI'll send rainy wishes to you!
Anytime Smooch is posing for pics, I'm there! Such a handsome pup!
ReplyDeleteJo
That picture of hank is STUNNING
ReplyDeleteDid you whiten Hank's coat? Give him a bath? What great pictures!
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks like rain was all around you. Sorry you were stood up again. Sweet Smooch.
ReplyDeleteThat happens to us all the time. We seem to be situated in the eye of the storm. When it does rain, it pours! And, the smell afterward - heavenly!
ReplyDeleteSmooch looks so adorable cuddling her little yellow toy! And Hank pulls off the windblown look to perfection.
Much love to everyone at the ranch!

Brett Michaels!!! I can't believe he has any appendages left! (heh). It makes my heart happy that Smooch is still playing with him. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful pictures. Sorry about the rain no-show, but you've got amazing front row seats to the next one that comes to your neighborhood. :-)
Sorry the rain passed you by, but happy for the "rainroom" pics and set up. You and Smooch will eventually get to watch for real. I hope soon.
ReplyDeleteno rain but great pictures! Yes to washing everything: the windows, the truck, the herd! it mut come oe day, anyway
ReplyDeleteLove the windblown mane.
ReplyDeleteOh, no~ No rain! LOVE the photo of Hank's mane! :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a heck of a storm that never came!
ReplyDeleteThat was so mean of Mother Nature. You could see the rain in the distance, Aughhhh. Looked like a nice night in the sun room though.
