So...we have a big bag of bird seed. I bought it because I tend to feel bad for the itty-bitty creatures during the cold months of winter...and I like to do what I can to make their lives more comfortable. Then...my children developed a fascination with the winged creatures. They will stare out our back window forever watching them as they flit around.
Today they presented our flying friends with a little Christmas present:
Their offering attracted dozens of birds. (I did worry that they had created another hawk-sacrifice like last year...but no sign of any predatory birds this Christmas!) Within a day it was reduced to an unreadable version of their gift...and the girls were ecstatic! Who knew bird seed could be so much fun?
