I am Precious and my horse's name is Pretty Boy. Those are our barn names. That is what we get called on an everyday basis. I am a Paint horse and my paper name is Skippers Precious. My Pretty Boy is a Red Roan Appaloosa horse who's paper name is Trouper. Anywho........I tell the house mouse about our life and what happens out here on the farm and in my big red barn so she can tell you. Well now you know so on with the stories.................

Rainy day

Raining all day so far. I heard that the weatherman said light showers that would not even reach the ground till late this afternoon when it is going to rain and possibly thunder. I think he must have been in a very low place.

Rain has stopped for now. Just wet and chilly out here. Eating a lot of hay to keep warm. That's what hay does makes my body warm me being a horse you know. Some old country folks out here call it 'fodder'. "You need to make sure that livestock has some fodder there is cold weather coming!" also I have heard one old cowboy say 'Feed in the morning, hay at night'. Me and my horse are glad our human girl doesn't hold to that too much. She gives us a big can of feed in the mornings but then twice more we get a couple of cups. One time we get a couple of cups is between 2 and 3 in the afternoon and then a couple of more cups about 5 in the evening before the sun starts going down.

Speaking of that sun going down......The other morning when the sun was coming up there was a cold front pushing through that met up with some Gulf of Mexico moisture but when I saw it they were still two separate pieces of cloud. Looked up and there you go a white stripe across the sky. That was because the sun was already up behind those dark clouds and then that break in the clouds then another bunch of dark clouds. That human girl saw it too. She went back in the big house and got her camera but I don't think she got a picture of it because she just kept shaking her head and then she went back inside. It was right interesting to see that and I'm sorry you missed it....if you did.....miss it that is.

That palomino pony is over there at the fence with one of her cows, those two llamas animals and the two donkeys. Pretty sure they are jealous of the attention my house mouse gives me and my horse.
