I'd say the monsoon is back with a vengence. Yesterday about 2pm, we got slammed with heavy rain and wind. The wind was very scarey. It sounded like a tornado or a train going through. After that let up we had rain on and off throughout the night. Everything is soggy now. We still have a good cloud cover this morning. Maybe there is more rain to come.

The two little bucks and Mouth got pretty wet. They have a shelter but the rain was slanting in the front of the shelter so they hid behind the shelter. There is no roof in that direction. I'd like to get or design more substantial shelters or just have a way for everyone to stay in the barn when the weather is so bad. The alpacas shelter works pretty well for them. They were dry and so was the inside of their shelter. Little Bones, Caramel and Falkor have very good shelter if they want to use it. Little Bones got pretty wet but Caramel and Falkor are dry. At least it is still warm so I don't worry about them too much.

Today I need to refill the hummingbird feeders. With so many hummers using them, the feeders empty in about 2 days. I was buying commercial sugar water but it is more convenient and easy to make my own. The birds seem happy either way.
