Did anyone see the story about the cow in Hancock that was swept 3 miles downstream during the flooding that occured last week? It was on WCAX this morning. CRAZY! The cow came out unscathed. What a story. I'll post a link to the article when WCAX gets it up online.
How are you fellow Vermonters fairing with all the rain? We're doing OK at our house other than the lawn/fields being completly saturated. The in-laws in who live along the Middlebury River have been lucky-they were evacuated for a bit early last week, but luckily no property damage.

With the snowy winter we had and all this rain, it has been a tough year. I wonder what this will do to our foliage. I know my tomatoes are suffering.
Saw the story on Lucky the bull on WCAX. Amazing !
Tomatoes?? Really? We have 5' tall bush and lush plants with tiny green tomatoes on them. Maybe we will have some by Veteran's Day if they don't get our ususal Labor Day frost.
Some of my tomatoes are doing great, others are just now showing signs of problems because of the rain. If they'd just hurry and ripen I'll get plenty before any of the plants die...
This mud is so hard on our animals. Outside our barns it is just one deep mud puddle. I am going to go broke from buying shavings to rebed the stalls for the donkeys and horses. I'm worried about their hoofs not getting a chance to dry out. One of my donkeys already had an absess and the farrier said it was because of this mud. Did you ever get your muck boots stuck in about 8 inches of mud with two hungry steer five feet away waiting to be fed. It's scary!! I could not believe how it rained a few days ago. The river is high but I'm happy my pond is full again. My husband is VERY worried about this haying season. We still haven't completed one field of first cut and we are praying for the fields to dry out so we can get our second cut started. We don't have enough hay cut for the winter yet. I'm sure all the farmers are getting a bit worried with all this rain. After the hay is complete, then we have to concentrate on cutting firewood. That is going to be a problem because the river is going to be too high to get across it if this rain doesn't stop. Yea, I think we're in trouble.
BTW, nice to see you back Sherylcatmom.
