Night of crappy sleep. When that overnight watch was issued my anxiety went up. Was up from about 1-3. Finally got some sleep when after looking at radar determined that MBY would be quiet. This was a time where I was happy that I got shafted on storms.
When the camera went out they put up a RIP for it. It is attached to a utility pole on a corner when they showed the picture of it. Then it came back from the dead. Had to do a double take to see the live tag on it. It is insane!
Attempted to beat the heat and took the younger Miss J over to ride at 8 am. Drove through some quite dense fog on 340W. When we got there was able to catch this dewey spiderweb at my friends farm.
It is so awesome to watch all the modifications they use. Being that my daughter is an equestrian we saw a Dressage round with a woman with no legs. The use of legs in riding is a lot and especially in Dressage. Have also seen blind ride with the trainer calling out the course in jumping. Have to have an amazing horse for that.
And was surprised to see Rugby in wheelchairs!
We used to wait till after December 13th to put up Christmas stuff. The older Miss J's birthday is that day and right after she was born I told Mr. J that I did not want her birthday and Christmas to be lumped together. She has since decided that she likes putting stuff up early and Dec 1st is generally the time frame.
Had to go over to VA to hold the pony for the farrier. Got under one of those vertical lines coming through. Had to have her shod in the garage. Very tropical feeling out.
SW Fred Co finally got some decent rain. I know more are having issues with a lot of rain, but we really needed a decent soak up here.
Backyard total of 1.90” so far. Absolutely poured buckets last night during back to school night yesterday.
I do have to say I was thankful for some of the heavy stuff out near Berryville Sat night. Had a show in Millwood and the rings have been so dry. To the point of so much dust you cannot see the horses going around except for them coughing up a lung from inhaling the dust. Got there yesterday morning to a ring that actually has some puddling in it. Ring did not have to be watered at all and could see the horses and their lungs were all clear.
