I have two push/self propel gas mowers. The Honda is about 4 years old, works pretty well. The other has been sitting for 4 years, I need to see if it can be fixed. It's a Husqvarna push mower, was a beast, very tough, and I wouldn't mind putting some money into it to get it running.

I buy seed from Wild Birds Unlimited. Their seed is quality, no junk, no sticks, nor millet fillers. It's more expensive, but there isn't waste. I purchase a membership which saves me $$$ considering all the seed and suet I buy.
If you get grackles eating up all the sunflower seeds switch to...
I was looking at a Greenworks mower around Christmas. My Greenworks push trimmer is 60v, but the reviews for the 60v mower were not good, mainly about bagging inadequacy. The 80v mower got glowing reviews for its ability to bag leaves and clippings, but the price didn't come down far enough to...

Just because...
Zaccheus and some of his girls.
Flock dynamics: 2 pullets (laying!) and cockerel (all are 6 months old) mingle with the other 4 hens, rooster, but then head to the back corner for some scratching and feeding.

In 2024 I allowed a broody to hatch five eggs. They all were cockerels. :rolleyes:
This is from the night before they went to auction. I kept the little guy in the back.
He's all grown up.
And he's a great rooster.
Cleaned my shed yesterday, NOW I should be able to locate things.

I have a little more sorting to do, but it's wonderful to actually walk into the shed. And find stuff.
A friend gave me 18 free range chicken eggs she got from a neighbor. I used some of them for Christmas...
