Wind and Rain

Wilma here.
We had a wind storm the other day. It was quite....breezy. Cabo had to stay outside because he's not very nice to Willow. His pasture is close to the trees, though, so he had a little shelter. It was much windier up in the barn. My partner left one of the doors to the barn open, so the wind would be able to go through it instead of trying to lift the barn up and take it away. It was a pretty big storm, but the music in the barn never went off, and the lights still went on when my partner came outside.
The next day it rained. It was a very strange day. It rained, then it would stop and then it would rain, and then some little while things almost like snow but hard came down. Then there were flashes in the sky and big booms. Then it rained some more. It rained so hard Lake Harmony came back. This is place next to the driveway which looks like a long skinny lake. we haven't seen it since last winter.
The leaves aren't even off the trees yet, though. Has winter already started?
