Well, I'm still around. I check in here once in a while. We are now into haying, and it is going to be a phenomenal crop, for once! Last night it looked like we were going to get one heck of a storm, but most of the hay we had down was baled, and no rain on it, so let her rip!! After all rain isn't really going to hurt the bales too much. So here is some photos from last night!
Well, this is a gorgeous sunset from the night BEFORE!
Now to last night....
Didn't look too terrifying to start with (7:30 pm)
Got a little worse looking as the evening wore on (8:15)
Clouds started to get a little nasty looking, and they were doing some of that swirling stuff too!!(8:25)
When does a cloud become a funnel cloud, and when is it just a pointy cloud? that isn't usually a big problem around here!
Saw some pretty good lightning(8:55)

About 10 pm we went inside, the wind had picked up a bit, and it looked like we just might get that storm. Then it swerved off and went south, we only got 3/4". Good thing we got that hay up!
Here's some pics from this morning between about 7 and 9 am! We only got 3/4" but just upstream a few miles they got between 4 and 5 inches!
Water not quite in the barn!
This bale isn't in such a good spot!
At least we can still drive thru
Might be a little difficult getting too far from here...
Or maybe not???
Oh, remember all that nice hay I was talking about.....No rain on it before it was baled......
I think that this sign says it all....
Water's kinda deep....
Umm, these bales just went for a little ride, down the creek! Some went darn near 1/2 mile!
Horses, better stay out of the barn!
And finally.....Just to let you all know....
