Day One: RAINED OUT!

With some previous engagements required of me first thing this morning, I hoped to get to TOEH this afternoon. We expected rain from Hurricane Noel all day but it didn't even come along 'til three or four. Unfortunately, I got to pick out TOEH's stall, hang out with him a little bit (rub him all over with a missy picker) but didn't even get the chance to put a saddle on him because by the time I got around to that it was raining - COLD and wet, not a good combo. Spent a couple of hours getting everyone bunked down for a night of howling wind and powerlessness, but alas, the wind has died down and the power is still running. We shall see how things pan out in the morning!
