Thunder and Lightning.......

And rain...*smile*
That's what's going on in my neck of the woods. It's a bit chilly today on this ol' porch. But I'm in some snuggy clothes, yup. Harder to see that sun when it'll come up, so I'll just have to settle on knowing it's there when I see the glow of light and that ol' clock tells me it's time. I'm not in an uber rush to hit the paddocks today. *eyes the lightning with some suspicion* And that rain is intermittently drumming on this ol' tin roof on my porch with some serious din.
Thought one being in an area void of much things higher than say a prairie dog pokin' it's head out of the ground, I make an excellent lightning rod. And being soaked through makes excellent grounding for electricity.

Thought two being that horses spack out whenever the weather's strange to them, and they will find this strange.
I'll pull out my long brown duster coat for today. Aside from being a little harder to manipulate in, it'll likely keep my inside clothes pretty dry aside from soggy jeans at the bottom. I'm not really looking forward to this day, as it might be becomming apparent....a-heh.

I did get a bit of good karma news this week though :D At the Pinjarra festival I come cross one of those booths where you can meet the little kangaroos...the babies hanging in little man made pouches. They're the wildlife rescue folks ? Anyways, there was this one baby who acted so funny. He was so attracted to me. Kept reaching out and pulling my hand in to get ear and head rubbies. Finally, he grabbed my face and started kissing my nose, and even as I was walking away kept motioning me back. I'm gonna tell you this...if you want to get me to part with my money ? THAT is the most excellent sales technique I have ever-ever seen. Cha-ching I whipped out the wallet and was handing them 20 bucks right there. I mean honestly, how often does a Texan in Oz get that sort of attention from a wild kangaroo ? I was handing the lady my money when she asked how many I wanted. Tickets mind you...for the raffle. I wouldda snatched up the joey right there, but instead, since they were a dollar a piece, I said "errmm 20 ?" Then spent a while filling out initials on each ticket and left her with a contact number. Enough days passed I figured it was a done deal and over, you know ? But sure enough I won a pack for 4 tickets to the Peel Zoo where I get to see the Joey again, and a 50 $ voucher at the gift shop. Score ! Well, I was wanting to go yesterday, but the weather weren't cooperating a'tall. So rather than make it a drizzly day at the zoo, I'm being patient.. Biding my time and all.
Getting lighter here a bit, and a teeny speck of blue in the sky says for me to get my lazy butt out there and sling some hay...
Y'all have a good one...keep warm and your powder dry... *nods*
