Very lucky.

That was the first storm yesterday to produce rotation in the clouds (and lower to the ground, in the wind). No touchdown, but the telltale freight-train roar was there. My biggest fear was the horses; the chickens can go to ground in the coop (and put them inside so I could let the dogs out of the dog run); we and the dogs can hide in the downstairs shower. But there's no safe place to put horses around here if one does touch down. 

We had several more before the day was out, but this was the bad one, the one that looked and sounded and felt like it could actually do something. We're very lucky that it didn't. Now, it's clear and bright, but the clouds are already building up; we're supposed to get more weather overnight into tomorrow, and again on Monday. We'll see.

Meanwhile, I'm still battling constant pain and lack of sleep to get through with the tax nonsense. I'm trying to get them turned over by the end of the week, but I may not make it at this rate; we'll see. Might pull an all-nighter tonight to do it. I still have to find a way to pay it all, and get us through April's costly medical stuff, too. 

And I still have to keep trying to make enough sales to cover the coming outlay to a government that would prefer to see us dead. We've had two sales over the last 8 weeks or so; not unusual for the first quarter of the year, but also not useful for dealing with the Tax Man. I need help doing this. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priorities are first and foremost, the other ladder and the Thermacell lanterns; the flies are already out, so the mosquitoes won't be far behind);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, so now's always a good time to make a purchase. And there's lots of fabulous new work, so please share all of the links.
