There’s an unusual amount of traffic heading up my road today.
I’d already been to Darling’s room once, encouraging her to climb out of bed and get ready for school. This was round two…
“YES!”
…so why was I getting such an enthusiastic response from my half asleep teen buried deep beneath layers of blankets and pillows?
Because I just informed her that school is closed due to flooding, that’s why.
Our mounds of white mud are melting away, creating havoc when combined with the torrential rains that have joined the warming weather. I heard the rain pounding down all night long and knew I’d wake up to flooded stalls this morning. The snow was so deep that it was at a higher elevation than the barn, and as the packed snow and ice melts, it has no choice but to run directly into the bedrooms of my horses. And so I shall have quite the mess to clean up.
Had it not been for City Boy’s phone call, I’d not have known school was closed. I’d have shuffled Darling out the door and left her waiting for the bus in the pouring rain. Eventually she’d have come home looking like a drowned rat. City Boy had been on his way home from work when he heard the news on his radio. Just as he was calling me, he came across a road closed sign and had to make a detour (which explains the traffic in front of my house this morning.) When he finally made it home, he informed me that our road, too, is flooding.
Of course, there’s nothing like a good natural disaster to get me out with my camera!
It doesn’t appear all too impressive here, although if our road has this much water, I’m certain the river will be great fun to photograph. I’d best get Darling up so she doesn’t miss the excitement!
School closing always that got of response at our home as well. Sorry, about the flooding.

Looks like here too. Am not sure which is worse.
Yikes!!! That is a LOT of water! I hope the stalls weren’t too bad.
be safe there dear!
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. we have been hit awfully hard, haven’t we??
I see that you have a lot of Mustang makeover stuff on here. Do you know Jamie Thomas? She is a local trainer who competes in that, and just got back from a competition in CA.
Oh Tracey! I do hope things have subsided up your way by now! It’s 52 and Drying out fast here today! And THAT is NOT a PIGment of my imagination 🙂
Exciting Photos! I hope everything is over and the stalls are all cleaned up by now! Any thing that kept schools closed was always welcomed by my children. Every once in a while they got some days out for snow.
yikes..hope things start drying up soon and the river starts to recede.
best of wishes to you all. hope the horses are all o.k.
Pssst…did you get washed away? I haven’t seen anything from you lately around here.
Hope all is well.
That is alot of Aqua! I guess I should ,should stop complaining again of the mud we have down the barn isle!
Well I hope it dries out soon and gets back to normal. We are going to get a couple inches this weekend. Which will put us behind for the week.
Hand walking is just so enjoyable and fun in the Gooosh.
Hope all is well.
Dang, that’s a lot of water. We’ve had a similar amount around here.

Oh, my gosh, here I was complaining about the mud! I have to say that a couple of years ago my sister came and visited for a week and that was the week that we lost power and the town and neighboring towns got flooded. I hope that it is a long time before that happens again! I was lucky enough that we live in the country and up on a mountain!!
i also this has dried up by now, great article
