WEATHER

Sitting at the desk at the rental, watching a major storm move in. It is the first time in two days I have had the a/c off and the windows open, but it won't be for long because when the rain starts, I will have to close up.

Cooper has had his Composure and is wearing his Thundershirt and has been escorted into Llewis's crate (his crate of choice, since he doesn't actually have one.)

It has been, basically, one long thunderous roll and the sky is very very dark. The guy across the street is trying desperately to get his lawn mowed, but it isn't going to happen.

My friend Susie called me awhile ago from Britt, Iowa at a horse show, and said they were trying to dry the ring out, so maybe this is the same storm. She called to invite me to the Waverly, Iowa Draft Horse Sale in October. This is a big deal and we have tried to go several times but something has always interfered. Presumably by then we will back in the real house and maybe it will be cool enough that I can take Cooper. Making the assumption, of course, that his health holds.

This is the kind of horse they sell at Waverly....And these....

                                      And this.

But you knew that. So I don't know. We'll see what the next month brings, whether we are in a motel someplace or at home.

I hope the windows are closed at the other house....
