Hi there, We made it through. Our hay barn and chicken coop roofs took the brunt of the damage. The cattle are all fine as are all the other critters. We've been picking up downed branches and checking fences. Can't work on the roofs until this weekend. I wrote everything up on my blog. Just updated it this morning since we got power back! moonlitoaksranch.blogspot.com/Take care, everyone!

So relieved to hear from you and know that you and your family survived this ordeal. I quickly read your blog post but will go back again later and re-read it. What an experience! I am surprised and happy to hear you have your power back so quickly...seems fast to me considering what I read about in other parts of Florida. Your planning and good sense paid off!

Well, Alicia, I didn't make it to the hurricane. I got sidetracked by the two horse stories. You are truly an angel. And now I have to go change, because my shirt is wet from tears.
I sold my mare when I got married (I got rid of the wrong animal!), but visited her every time I was home. The new owner kept her in wonderful shape. Every time I visited, all I had to do was give my old call, and up came her head, and she'd canter over, even years later. Then the owner sold the farm and the horse went with the property. New owners didn't really want her, she got pneumonia, and died three months before I moved back here for good. I'd have bought her back and sent her to a friend's for her last days. Not to be. So glad your stories have happy endings.

We were pleased to get our power back after only two days. We were expecting a week. We have family and friends whose homes flooded, so I am helping them before finishing our own clean up. Our animals are comfy where they are. Hopefully, we will be able to make some repairs this weekend.
