The weather man has predicted a week of heavy rains and my phone keeps getting text messages about Flash Flood warnings. We completed morning and lunch chores and no rain- and then it began, the deluge. We have one dog, Grover; brave, loyal, protective but scared to death of thunder storms! He's hiding in the shower now (normally, all of our dogs are full time outside dogs, but we make an exception for Grover). The cows seem to bed down before storms, they all lay about, chewing their cuds and wait to see what falls from the sky. I've always heard a tale about turkeys being so stupid that they will turn their heads to the sky in a rainstorm and drown?! I have not yet (thankfully) had that happen here at the ranch. I wonder if it is true......
