First and Foremost…..

We’re all okay and we survived…the horses are fine…all the animals are fine…..

The house…the barn…the land…the vehicles are fine…..

…..the round pen…not so much…..it got smooshed…..

We’re all still a little rattled…..

…..a little fried…..

Who am I kidding…..?…..

My eyes are rolling around in my head like lost marbles…..

Our comfort-zone/homeostasis will take a while to settle in again…(once we find where it blew to and ultimately landed)…..

My friend (further South by only about fifty minutes)…was not so lucky…no horse or animal deaths that I know of…Thank God…but her barn was absolutely totaled…..

I’ll re-cap these last few days…sometime…but honestly…I’m just too tired right now…..

We were lucky…I feel so grateful…and at the same time…so guilty…the news coverage is devastating….

…..it could’ve been us…..

…..the emotional rollercoaster ride is enormous…..

I’m checking out farmland that’s for sale in Ohio…..

I know you Snow-Birds might think I’m crazy…..

…..am I?…I’ll ask you again…after an active Hurricane Season…..

My older daughter shouldered all the hard work and forethought and fore-planning…..

She was born in Florida…both my girls are Tropical-babies…they’ve never been in a snow drift…their idea of cold weather is opening the freezer doors at Walmart…..

I’ve heard Ian is going down in the history books as one of the biggest hurricanes to hit the US mainland…..
