Fiasco Farms is an excellent site for goat information also.
They are good. They are one of my facebook 'likes'.
Boy, what a day! P.O. called me this morning because the regular carrier for my normal route called in for the day because her daughter's home is flooding and they needed to get everything out pronto. So I did the normal route, but minus about 115 homes that are now unreachable. Remember me talking about the causeway on my route? Well, those 3 flooded spots over the road are now a gigantic big one. No going through it. We're holding the mail at the P.O. A few of the residents came to pick up their mail and said unless you have a 4x4 that sits up high, you not making it through. We called a retired carrier who lives on the causeway and he said it's going to be some time before we'll be getting through again. So between that and a lot of wash-outs on the dirt roads, there are plenty of people who won't be seeing mail for a bit.
Oh, forgot to say, too, the basement of the P.O. is flooded. They've had maintenance guys down there all day trying to get the water out and they figure tomorrow will be worse so they'll be there tomorrow, too. Basically everything that wasn't at least a foot off the ground was ruined.
And, just before I got home, my DD texted me to tell me that a tree fell down in our yard and took out a power line. One of our oaks in front of the house split in half and crashed down into the lavender bush which is 5ft from the front corner of our house. I got pics, but the uploader thing is in the bedroom so I have to wait until DH gets up to post them. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Called the power company and they just left, but they only cut out the part that was going through the yard. You can still see it dangling from our post and from the post on the other side of the property. I'm wondering if it was a dead line since the posts are old, but it just seems weird they left it like that. Oh, it wasn't the line going to the house and we still have power so that's good, but now we have a huge tree to take care of.
And finally, what the hey? Rains for days and days and then I'm driving home through a snowstorm!?! Yep, it was actually accumulating and I have a pic on my phone of it from my wipers. And then I get near home and it's all sunshine. What???? It's snowing now, though.
