What a week!

It has been a busy week around the farm. My tractor left and came back more than once without anything for me. He was going across the road and getting hay for the neighbor's because there was supposed to be an ice storm or sleet or snow or something happening today. I like it when my tractor leaves the property and then comes back because usually he has something for me. I get real happy when I see him coming down the road and I run like the wind with my tail up to greet him. I think that is fun because he doesn't know I have very good brakes plus he doesn't know why I am running at him so he gets a very funny look on his face. LOL!!! So everyone on the road has been getting ready for the big winter storm all week and all that happened was some very cold rain that froze some, melted some and froze some more before melting again. I suppose it will refreeze tonight but I'm not going out there to see if it does. Me and my horse have pretty much stayed inside my barn all day today. First light came and no feed so we did venture out about seven to see if we could see anyone moving at the house. Wasn't much after that the human girl came out telling us all about the weather. What did she think? Did she think we couldn't see what was happening? Silly girl. If she had come out to the barn earlier we could have told HER all about the weather that she was probably sleeping through. So any way she gave us our feed and then started giving us hay. We got a lot of hay in a lot of places. She put hay in four places in the barn plus in the my feeder barrel. Then she put six flakes of hay out around in my pasture. And then she put an armload of loose hay on the ground beside where I was eating my breakfast. She said 'Here you will need this to keep you warm'. It worked I was warm all day. My horse even let me come all the way into my barn and eat my hay out of my very own feeder by about noon. It was nice of him to share. Tomorrow will be a better day. Tomorrow it is not going to be wet and the temperature is supposed to be up to 70 degrees the house mouse told me the human girl told her that. Good thing it is going to be nice because we have us some very nice hay out there in piles around the pasture that don't need to be left there to go to waste.
