My BIL and Uncle were ‘fixing’ my riding mower and completely killed it off. So now I am stuck mowing with the push mower.

Sounds like the time I broke a printer fixing it....

A CATUR-DAY from the last century:

This Calico is "Shirley Temple" cuz she was such a cute faced kitten and turned out to be a terrific gopher catcher! On the farm we didn't deal with tiny field mice or rats! We grew the BIG stuff like gophers, snakes, and squirrels!

c.1950

I almost forgot it's a Catuday

Finally Tassels has given up on being broody:

But she may still be drawn to the nest in the middle of the night.

Apologies to anyone I missed - I did have a period of no internet.

Thanks so much.

Thank you Kelly

I had the perfect sleep. After I spoke to my sweet cousin, I went out like a light with the fan breezing over my feet

I'm so very glad.

 

[featherhead007]

I do live in a small town. The things that I do affect the community as a whole.
It’s been decided that the rooster formally named Lattie will henceforth be named “roo Lattie Leroy” this decision is based on my church friends opinion and that of my sister as well.
I will call him Leroy (but I will never call him late for supper!)

Managed to catch Disco Inferno


Please be a girl...I could try figuring out something if this one's a boy though...I estimate the age at 5-6 weeks old. The farm store marks them down to $1 after a week and 50cents after two, got these midweek from the 50 cent bin...
Next try is to catch my golden sebright. I need to feel the comb to figure out if it is growing.
