After the Storm

I only managed to get home, get out and give Pip her antibiotic paste and get back inside before the storm hit on Thursday.

Gale force winds which resulted in the ultimate demise of our feed shed, and the garden shed in the house paddock and rain that fell like sheets of steel pounded Massie Lodge for at least 25 mins.

It was a case of battening down all the hatches and hoping for the best.

Funny to think that there was only 16mls in the rain gauge after the deluge.

Typical that it was after a bandage change on Pip!

Many thanks to those who came and helped us mop up afterwards.

It always astounded me that after throwing something so nasty, Mother Nature sends an apology in the form of a rainbow.
