Re: [RC] feed prices...the rest of the story :) - Barbara McCrary

This WAS a rare occurrence. Usually, our rare lightning storms occur in September. We usually don't have tornadoes here on the coast, although I remember over the past 50+ years having occasional water spouts form over the ocean and once, long ago, a small tornado came on land and ripped through a corner of a pasture about 1-1/2 miles from our house and take down a bunch of trees.

Weather that cold is rarely accompanied by lightning, at least in MY experience! Because of the hail, if it were me, I'd be looking around for a tornado. -Sharon L. in Maine


Quoting Barbara McCrary <bigcreekranch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:


Central coast CA, 60 miles south of San Francisco and within sight of
the Pacific Ocean:  37 degrees at 8:00 AM.  Two lightning strikes at
around 2:30 AM, one of them about 1/4 mile away (based on time lapse
between lightning and thunder.)  This was quickly followed by a violent
hail storm, only pea-sized, thank goodness.  The weather is a bit
bizarre for here.  I know, I know, 37 degrees F is not cold compared to
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado or Maine, but it is cold for coastal CA.
It's all a matter of what you are used to.  It's now raining
again....we're so grateful for that.  Not good riding weather.

Isn't that true of all of us. We'd be rich in money, but poorer in spirit. You are right, Carla, it just gives you a warm feeling to see a stack of hay all safe and sound. It's "up" to minus 5 here right now with bright sunshine :)

Sometimes I think if I didn't own horses I could have been incredibly wealthy - ha! In terms of $$ anyway. Nah. I think I am wealthy, because I have my horses.

Yesterday our hay guy delivered more hay to us, and said he would bring 200 more bales next weekend. There's nothing like a beautiful, big stack of hay to make me feel secure. <G>
