I think we may drown!!

I don't know how many of you are from the Northeast, but it's been raining here in Maine all month.  Really.  The weatherman says that out of the 30 days in June, it has rained 24 of them.  We are all water-logged.  The pastures are swamps, the riding arena is under water, mud everywhere, even the horses are agitated.  And it doesn't look good for the start of July.  Our riding season started in June, but the riders have only ridden a couple of times.  Our children's day camp is starting on the 6th and the forecast is rain (big surprise)Sad

On a happier note, last weekend we had some really nice people stay with us at the horse motel.  A retired couple  from North Carolina who travel the country with their 3 Rocky Mountain horses.  I have never seen Rocky Mountain horses, so it was a treat for me.  They are great horses, very beautiful. 

Anyway, if I don't drown, I'll be back to let you know how everything goes.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I am here in the Phoenix area and we'd love to see some of that cool rain you're getting. Temps are expected to reach 110 degrees today. Even die-hard riders like me taper back on riding this time of year. When you wake up the horse at 3 in the morning and it's STILL hot, you know it's time to hang up the spurs for a while. Today I'll probably oil my saddle.
