Living in harmony with our feathered friends brings me great joy. I have a neat tip to share with you today. If you want to install a wood post to hang a bird-person feeder, a 10-by-10-centimeter (4-by-4-inch) pressure-treated wood post is the best option. This allows it to endure the elements, as well as the ground’s dampness and potential insect damage like from termites. To achieve maximum stability, dig the hole to between one-third and one-half of the pole’s total length and use quick-dry concrete to secure the post in the ground. Alternatively, you can use gravel, crushed rock, or sand, however, these materials won’t be as stable as concrete. It is a good idea to use a level to make sure the pole is straight. A second option is to drive a steel stake that contains a post sleeve into the ground and then use bolts to secure the wooden post into the sleeve. Happy gardening and I can’t wait to see your bird-people feeder pictures.
What would be better for this moment than experiencing some hilarity with the joke of the day? It’s entitled “Prior Notice.”
A minister called in sick, and a pastor noted for his never-ending sermons agreed to fill in. When he stood up at the pulpit, he was annoyed to find only 10 worshipers present, including the choir. Afterward, he complained to the sexton.
“That was a very small turnout. Wasn’t the congregation informed that I was coming?”
“No, but word must have leaked out!”
?!
And now we have a heartline from a devoted disciple in the Middle East
