But first, the cuteness…

Some of the littles have discovered the inside of the cat house.  Much better than hiding under it!

I’m happy to say, I’ve been able to pet and even pick up more of the littles today.  Ar least, among the ones near the house.  The ones that use the shrine feeding station are still totally feral.  Alas.

One of my goals for today was to get some mowing done.  I wasn’t up to doing the overgrown area with the push mower, so I broke out the riding mower my brother went use.  I was able to get lots done with it.

I was working on a section of the outer yard in front of the garage when I ran out of gas again.  I was close to done for the day, but wanted to finish that one last bit.  I refilled the tank and got the mower started again…

… it wouldn’t move.

Now, with our old mower, we had that happen when the drive chain would fall off.  This mower is a very different, more modern, design.  Also, it was moving just fine until it ran out of gas. 

After trying several times, I finally just pushed it back into the garage.   I used my phone’s camera to try and get some pictures of the underside and sent them to my brother, telling him what happened.

Then I finished with the push mower.

My brother won’t be coming out this weekend, so it’s going to be a while before he can check it out.

This place murders lawnmowers.   It’s  bizarre! 

Nothing we can do about it for now.  Tomorrow, I’m off to the city for our first stock up shopping trip, so I really wanted to get the mowing done.  The rest of the outer yard will just have to wait!

Crud.
