Writing H&R Copy by the Glow of My MacBook
Even when you and yours are coping with what can only be called a wintercane (winter of hurricane-like power and destruction), the magazine deadline show must go on.So last night, during yet another power outage, I found the that light of my MacBook, on battery power, actually lit up the room pretty well. (That's the camera flash in the background, negating the fact that it was dark as all get out except for the MacBook screen and that candle.)
The snow, by the way, is up past the sill of that window.
Carrying on, helping to make sure you all get a March issue!

Juli: Try to remember those days during the summer when you were riding and for most of us from the south, it was too hot and muggy to walk outside, forget riding. We have had rain since November. It will stop for a few days and return for a couple of days. There is mud everywhere. In the flat areas there is standing water and the hills are too slippery to ride up. So even where the winter weather is not so dramatic, it is impossible to ride. I believe there is always a trade off. For those days that you have beautiful riding weather, there will be equally as many days that you wouldn’t dream of taking your horse out. Got to ride on those beautiful days.
So true about riding on the beautiful days!
Thanks for your dedication and hard work! You are a true hero!
I hope you have a spare battery! LOL I am so glad that the snow is gone, and where I am at the mouth of the Columbia Gorge in WA we are so far not flooding to much. The cold and ice killed 7 of my pond goldfish so now I have to go "fishing" and get them out.
I've glimpsed bare ground today--thanks to all the rain!
I feel for those caught up in all the flooding, and for that matter, in destructive weather anywhere. It is draining--physically, financially, and emotionally.
Any blog readers in western Washington or Oregon with first-hand reports of how the flooding is affecting horses?
The news more inland, like around Spokane, has been about collapse of indoor arenas and other structures.
First the snowicane, now the rainicane...the poor Northwest continues to undergo train-wreck weather the likes of which it's seldom if ever seen.
About the best I can say for this weather is that the water is mainly going into the ground in this part of the Palouse, not a huge runoff here so far. Sure will be glad when the wind finally dies back down. Temps in the 40's and winds about the same speed aren't much fun. A trainwreck of weather is a great discription for what the NW has gotten lately.
I feel for those who have been affected by the flooding. We have major flooding here in Iowa last summer. It has changed the city of Cedar Rapids forever and will take years to recover. One of my favorite tack stores was destroyed by the flood. They have relocated, but I will always miss their store as it had such a historical, old time horseman feel. The area's main Equestrian Center had to clear their scheduled shows for a month to house all the flood displaced cats and dogs. It was just crazy!
Holy smokes! Up past the windowsill??? Woman WHY??? You could be a snowbird!! Park a 5th wheel down here!!
Least you got a great man there to snuggle up with :) That's gotta make it cozy!
I am one of the ones here where the flooding hit... I live in Lewis County.. We are ok but There are others who got hit hard and have not even recovered from last years flooding... At one point, all of the passes were closed and a 20 miles stretch of I-5 was closed and all of the back roads were flooded or washed out I-5 has just now open a few hoursas is some,if not all of the passes. And winter has just started too...
Hawaii, anyone ?
Geezus! I think we get snow! I remember your snow posts from last year! Good grief! And good luck!
You and I have the same 'puter!
