My grandpa would tell stories when he was in the nursing home and he would grin and wink at the end. One story he told of how he got in a fight and held a guy against a wood stove and burned him. This happened in a logging camp in WV cutting timbers for the mines. We went to his best friend and...

I know u all want greener pastures and here u are ripping them out and tossing them away:lol:

Thistle seed is good for the yellow finches. U could let them grow for the birdies

They have one ring maybe two. But they do sell the chickens and rabbits and stuff in a hoop barn. Unloading starts the night before. They have a drive threw.
