Autumn's Final Hoorah?
This just came out of nowhere. I checked the weather earlier this evening and (I'm not sure how) I completely missed this. The storm is long, extending all the way from Oklahoma to New Hampshire. By the the time I realized what was happening I was battling 60 mph winds in attempts to keep my rabbits covered. See we re-tarped the hutches in preparation for winter. Unfortunately the new tarp is not as heavy and blows all over the place. It was our goal to construct sort of a suspended tarp weight that would help to anchor it during storms likes these. I now fully understand it's necessity. With the winds we get on an almost daily basis up here, it needs to be done ASAP. In the mean time, I did my best to anchor it for now in the hopes that they will fair this storm at least. I think the worst of it has past now. I wasn't just wet when I came back in the house, you could ring me out! I suppose this is autumn's last hoorah before winter sets in and those winds carry white outs instead of just rain.
I hope everyone else out there is staying dry.
