I hate the Kansas wind.

The wonderful Kansas wind was horrific today. That is really an understatement. It started this morning and is still going strong. Not only are my eyes full of dirt, but I was almost blown away this morning. I went to pick up the youngest cowgirl from a sleepover and she was actually blown down. I thought it was a little funny but her on the other hand didn't think so.
We decided it was a lost cause to do anything productive outside today so, we were in playing the Wii and watching movies. When our horse boarder came to the door to tell my hubby that the door to his building was about to be blown off. When he and I get out there yep it is off it's hinges and about to fall down. The only thing we could do at the time was to help it all the way to the ground. We didn't want it to blow over at the wrong time and someone get hurt.


We also have a new skylight in the same building that we now have only one door too. The problem is I wonder who is going to climb up there to fix the damage.



Then there is the loafing shed that already took a beating last weekend from the heavy snow. The roof was partially caved in from the weight of the snow sitting on it. We had closed the gate so the horses coulnd't get in there and get hurt. The wind today finished the roof off.




Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Weather...

I am not very creative on the titles of my post I know. But that is a lacking department here, sorry. Anyways the last 4 days has been beautiful her. Yesterday it was 60 degrees here. I have hurried home every night, changed clothes and been on the back of a horse till sundown. It has been wonderful. Today well it is 30 degrees here right now. I hung outside long enough to get everyone fed and watered and ran for the house. I look like an Eskimo when it is this cold. Seriously all you can see is a small bit of my face, only cause it is helpful to see when you feed otherwise they would be covered too. I did manage to get a few pictures taken this week. Not alot and there are none of me. YAHHHH! I hate to have my picture taken.
These are just updated pictures of little cowgirls black eye this is day 3. It never looked as bad as I really expected it to. Thank goodness.





Then we have my handsome cowboy who apparently didn't like it when I called him my stable boy. But, at the time it kinda fit. I told him I needed for him to go saddle my horse so I could change and he did it.



Last for today is my oldest leading our 2 year old stud "Jack" around. Jack is just starting his whole training process. Here he has only been saddled twice and is doing awesome with it.



Hope everyone has a good weekend. Maybe with it being cold I might get some housework done. Don't hold your breath on it though.

Good thing we have 4 wheel drive...

So yesterday  while at work it poured rain all day long of coarse this is after it rained non stop the night before.    It has been raining off and on here for days , at first I was excited about  it.  If the ground was to wet outside Cowboy would stay in the house and work on  our bathroom ( the remodel has been going on for almost a year now).  But now I am just tired of the rain.  I know I really don't have any room to talk cause I am in the middle of Kansas and there are a lot of other people who have it way worse that we do here but, I am tired of it.

Schools called at around 2 and the "country" bus kids need ways home cause the dirt roads are too bad to be driving buses on.  So Cowboy and I left work early to go pick up the kids.   I didn't get a good picture of when we really was picking up the kids cause that was pure chaos.  So, about 2 hours later when we were out I made cowboy run by the school so I could snap a quick pictures.  This picture does no justice to the amount of water that was surrounding the school.  At one point in the day they had all roads to the school barricaded  because of the high water, Why are kids were still in school is beyond me. 

 

Then on our way home down our dirt road this is what we kept running into.

Not sure if you can see it but that white speck on the left of the picture is my mailbox.

When we got home the tub that we feed one of our horses is was almost full of water.  Cowboy measured it and we got 10 inches during the day .

 

 

But,  hey at least the Cowpokes  had fun helping  Cowboy clean all the water out of the basement window wells .( One of the next remodel project to get fixed)   They managed to find all sorts of worms, toads, and frogs .  Our course the cowpokes thought we had to save all of them so we found quite a few.

 

Some of us just wanted to watch .

Hope everyone else is doing okay with the weather.
