I spent two hours yesterday in the downpour sewing up a torn udder on one of my best does who managed to get pinned against a fence by another one in a fight. We got three inches in this last pulse. I suppose it would be pleasant to sit on the porch and watch it rain if it didn't cause so much other grief. Besides, extended cloudiness makes me crabby. Always has.
