OK Mother Nature, we like a little sprinkle from your watering can and a soft cooling breeze from your fan every now and again but we're really OK now thanks…. we've kinda had enough rain and wind in the last few days to last us many weeks at least.
We are all confined to the stables and getting grumpier by the minute
And what about Roller? Hmmm well as usual Roller is staying toasty in the warm.

There is neighbourly bickering breaking out with the boredom…. that Dragon is pesky and won't share her hay through the fence, why does she get more hay than us, we only get a bit and then to the boring straw….
The garden path is like a scene from a river runs through it with the yard a close second, these were taken when the rain had stopped :-(
I tried to brave the rain by pottering outside but then discovering mini mules are not waterproof really. I swiftly inserted myself back in the barn where its dry.

At least us mules can stay at home, the humans have discovered the perils of the weather whilst foraging for Christmas treats for us (and them!) The roads to home are turning in to rivers and there are branches everywhere. We are managing to send this in between another power cut… might be a dark night!
Thankfully everyone is now firmly home for Christmas and we have food a plenty for the break, we don't need to worry about drink as Mother Nature is providing a bounty of fresh water!
We hope all our friends are staying safe, it seems that there is bad weather all over; rain and wind in England and Ireland, snow and rain in the US and Scotland and deep snow in Canada. Is anyone's weather OK? Stay safe, warm and dry friends at this festive time of year!
And have no fear there will be some 'sunny' pics here in time for Christmas, a little Christmas cheer will grace your screens courtesy of us Muleteers very soon…. as long as the power stays on long enough! :-)
Stay safe , we are sure sun is on the way .
ReplyDeleteWishing you some bright, dry ,merry weather very soon !
Warm Nuzzles,
H.B., Tink and Willow
Oo those warming nuzzles were perfect to cheer up some soggy minis :-) Festive greeting to you all xxx
Deleteoooooh that looks horrid. Aww dragon don't look so grumpy at least you get room service there.
ReplyDeleteGuess room service isn't too bad…. I even get to stay in my room while the maid makes the bed, she tries to shoo me out but I ain't for moving so she sweeps under my tummy, oh the indignity! Alas the sun has shone this morning, thank goodness!
DeleteOy, what a mess. I am glad you are all home safe. It seems the weather is one extreme or another everywhere you look.
ReplyDeleteSo true DD, awful weather for everyone at the moment it seems, hoping all our friends stay safe - wishing you and all your gang a very Merry Christmas!
DeleteI am glad you are safe and sound. We had freezing rain here in Montreal, but thankfully not as bad as Toronto! They had a serious ice storm there and many are without power. Sweet pics, as always. Merry Christmas to you all!
ReplyDeleteOh Linda we saw the freezing rain in Toronto and wondered how you were, hope you're staying safe. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from us all :-)
DeleteIsn't it awful? We're basically flooded in at the moment but it looks like it might stop tomorrow....we hope. Keep safe.
ReplyDeleteHey Em,
DeleteHope today has brought a little respite for you? We have even seen the sun this morning! Stay safe and toasty over the Christmas period - best wishes to you and yours xx
Oh dear, sad wee faces, hopefully it will go cold and crisp soon.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping! Mules don't do wet… snow and frost - yay! Hope you're staying warm and safe up in Scotland :-)
DeleteWe're plenty wet here too, know just how you're feeling. Wondering if long ears don't like rain? The neighbor donks all say in their sheds watching me stand in the rain!
ReplyDeleteLong ears do not 'do' rain that's for sure… we are inside at the first sign of the wet stuff and we can attest to the fact that our donkey cousins are even worse. Roller is the only rain goer amongst us…. it seems he is turning mule like though as even he is indoors more than not at the moment. Stay dry and cosy xxx
DeleteOh please don't drive through that water over the road! We have so many accidents that are bad from people who do that. I am so glad your humans are safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteWe had an ice storm then a weak snow storm.
We are safe and dry.
Freeze dried.
The water is terrible isn't it? Thankfully there are safe spots to get through and we know the short cuts. When it rains here it all comes of the hills in droves… the joys (and otherwise) of a country life! Stay safe, dry and warm!
DeleteOh dear - we have had an unusually DRY winter so far on BC's gulf islands but of course that means the water table has dropped, nice now but a challenge for the garden come summer. A toss up for sure! The donkeys are out and about but bored as I've had another busy stint. Best of the season Muleteers - may you stay warm and dry and happy! Ears ... forward!!!
ReplyDeleteSeems that there is no 'normal' weather anywhere at the moment. Glad the donkeys are staying dry, I'm sure Christmas will bring some festive cheer for them :-) Sending you all very best wishes from our little gang xxx
DeleteWish I could blow away all that rain and bring you sunshine. You all look so sad!.
ReplyDeleteSending you warm cuddles, my friends. You should all pack up and go on holiday to the sunny dry summer in the Andes! :-)
