Here birdie, birdie, birdie!

 Maeve somehow got it in her head that she wanted to make a birdfeeder out of pinecones, peanut butter and birdseed.  She talked about it incessantly for days. So, one day last week we took a walk on the hunt for pinecones.  Once we'd found a few (or thirty) we sat down to make our birdfeeders.

Then, we hung them up on the nearest tree and waited...

And waited....until finally it was discovered by a family of bluejay's living in the tree!

Success!
