    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Nice kitties! If they are not already fixed, get it done ASAP. Otherwise, whatever neighborhood Tom cat that rules your neck of the woods will kill them or run them off. Neighborhood Tom won’t see them as competition if they are neutered, so he will leave them alone.

    Good morning!

    Welcome from Indiana! We are originally from Michigan, and I didn’t think I would like Indiana, but it has grown on me. Have driven through some beautiful countryside in Ohio.

    Hi from New Zealand

    Link to make finding it easier: https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/baymule%E2%80%99s-journal.42854/ And welcome, @livinglandnz ! Mostly what I know about NZ comes from reading Essie Summers books. My favorite author! I would love to go there someday.

    Pet Hamster

    Having bred parakeets in my basement for 12 years, and doing a little research on the effects of lack of sunlight, my first reaction was that if the plant grow light had any UV in it, it would be healthy for the hamster.

    Now that you’ve seen one you both like, you have a starting point for comparing others to.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    One thing I noticed about the Presto, it has a nonstick coating, but nowhere did it say what the material is. My multi cookers all have ceramic coating. I sent an email to Presto to ask, and here is their response: I have birds, so I got rid of all my Teflon pans years ago. Now I only buy...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I will have to look at these links when I get a chance. When I was buying my GoWISE multi cooker, I read a lot, and it sounded like as long as it is large enough to hold 4 quart jars, then it should be safe to use. Because anything smaller than that changes the amount of time that the tested...

    Newbie lamb'er

    I don’t have sheep, but I read a lot of journals on Backyard Herds of people who do. It seems like most of them have small pastures that they rotate their stock through to minimize parasites and to more efficiently graze each of the different pastures. It seems like having really good fencing...

    Round or square?

    Hm. Didn’t see this until it was too late to vote. Practically speaking, the round avatars on the sister sites don’t make much impact. Until I saw this poll, I didn’t even think about it. But now that I have checked all 4 sister sites, I have to say, I like the square shape on BYC better...

    Cast Iron

    Is the aluminum sandwiched between the layers of stainless steel or is it the actual lining of the inside cooking surface? I’ve never heard of a stainless steel pan with an aluminum cooking surface. But good quality stainless pans will have an inner layer of aluminum because aluminum conducts...

    SUPER Old Lawn Mower Repaired!

    I don’t think so on this one. @KristPom posted 6 times and this is the only one with a link. If you go to their profile and read all 6 posts, it looks like someone who has just moved to this country and is trying to make friends. But they were only here briefly on Tuesday morning, so we shall...

    Raked Leaves for Chicken Litter

    I would totally use leaves. Now that we have a lawn sweeper, I’m hoping it will be a lot easier to collect them. I also use pine needles from under my pine trees, and grass clippings. Anything you can find free on your property lowers the cost of the pine shavings you have to buy. I use some...
