Hey Babe!
Another good night sleep, still with campfire smoke blowing my way, but I managed to sleep through it. I've been ready for the forecast rain, but every time I check it, it gets pushed back later and later in the day. The biggest portion seems to have missed us to the north, unfortunately. I wasn't counting on it in any event, so today I took a drive into a nearby town, Hamilton (home of Colgate University), which I was happy to discover had a Tractor Supply. I took two propane tanks in to them to be filled up, and they were kind enough to let me fill my water tank up there, though it took a very long time. I also was happy to see they carry Nutrena Balance right on their shelf, so I will likely pick up another bag next week. Then a quick stop at the Price Chopper next door to pick up a carton of grapefruit juice, before heading back to camp. I kept looking at my weather, and they said rain was coming in at 6:00, so just before that, I put the horses away and fed them early to avoid the rain. True to form, the rain finally started at about 8:40, which finally gave me an opportunity to get the various buckets lined up. I managed to mostly fill two small buckets, which I dumped into the horses water bucket, but left them in place in case it rains again overnight. I also had put the canvas on the back of the truck, and that caught a bit, but I'm not worrying about that until tomorrow. Not too much, but every little bit helps, I suppose. I'm just grateful for the cooler temps that will be following this, high only in the mid-70's tomorrow, thank goodness! Finally settled in for the evening, the usual. Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
