We had some various visitors yesterday, keeping us entertained. The first was this guy trying to figure out how to use a hummingbird feeder
Then this gal (and she had a buddy with her) stopped by for a bite to eat around lunch time
And later our alley bunny was busy making his rounds
Earlier in the day DH had been perusing Craigslist or something for "stuff" for sale in our area. He came across on old vintage push mower and said he's always wanted one - just to have for fun or display. It was $25, so he messaged the guy and we went over to his place after dinner. DH started to give him the $25 and he says "oh, $20 is fine - since you came and picked it up" LOL. So now we have this
From what we could find out based on the mfg name on it, probably made in the 1940's and originally sold for about $36. It came out of some stuff the guy is finding from property he bought last Fall that was originally the first hotel in our town, ran until the 1980's. For now it's going to sit in our rock garden, next to the wheelbarrow full of flowers. Nice young man who sold it to us, and he and his wife/girlfriend are putting a lot of effort into restoring the property and buildings.
I love watching all the little critters! We have a couple of roadrunners as well by us. Too fast to snap a picture though.
ReplyDeleteThose pushmowers are awesome! Wouldn't want to do a whole yard, but we are seriously thinking about one for the limited amount of grass we will have.
I remember we had one of those push mowers as kid. I like the sound they make :)
DeleteI like the sound of those mowers too! I would not mind having one to use in our backyard, we have little grass there since it is mainly filled with beds and hardscape.
ReplyDeletethis one still works :)
DeleteI hope all those critters don't decide to make a meal out of all your new plants!
ReplyDeletethe bunnies are trying. The deer had enough around us without jumping our fence into our tiny yard haha
