2 down, 2 left

So 2 kittens went to a new home last Saturday.
These went to live with a friend of Q's:
  • 2spot (aka Sweetie)
  • Bogard
We are keeping these two (who are getting fixed this week hopefully)
  • Jerome (old 3 spot)
  • Freya (aka Stripes aka Crash)

They will be given the run of the house shortly so we can get the guest bedroom ready for guests.

Kitten update - week 7ish

Kittens are now drinking milk with kibble soaked in it from bowls. Yeah! Next step, eating dry kibble and water. We'll start that in a few days.

Then it will be time to get them fixed.

Lawn mower purgatory

So I am in lawn mower purgatory.
I have 4 mowers, here is their status:
-Weed-eater push gas mower: having issues keeping running, hard to start, runs rough, dies often
-Murray riding mower: mowing deck supports rusted so it scalps the lawn. i removed the mower deck and use as a lawn tractor with the dumping trailer i bought.
-Ariens riding mower: lots of problems with broken spindle and blades. recently I’ve replaced:
    -entire spindle
    -spindle inside
    -blades twice
    -drive belt (belt became wedged between a pulley and the axle and I could not remove it so had to cut it and pull it out).
    -mower belt (ran over a tomato cage which wrapped itself around the blades and ended up burning the belt down)
-Craftsman mower: state mostly unknown, need to get it working, now a bed for a litter of kittens. Yes kittens. 4 kittens that look like a white/black cat we see wandering around the area. Their eyes are still closed, only about 4" long. I'm going to keep an eye on them and see how they do.


i just purchased an electric mower to replace the weed-eater mower and a Cub Cadet wheeled line trimmer to act like a brush-hog so I can cut back the blackberries/grass as it grows.

More critters...

Last Saturday we stopped by a local gardening/etc store and ended up adopting 2 black kittens out of a litter of 6. L had been there 2 weeks ago and the same 6 kittens were in the same cage. I guess black kittens are not popular here.

Here is the first picture of them:
