I love children - and especially when they are so 'new', seeing everything with fresh eyes, vibrant and full of energy - they are so sweet (not always, but nobody expects that). <br />To use peanut butter for feeding birds is new to me - though I can imagine that birds like it. Here on my balcony the sparrows make a big big joyful mess - they are, among birds, I think the 14 year old schoolchildren :-) Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688373434576442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034763117384760288.post-82377210882942698262014-02-15T05:34:24.949-05:002014-02-15T05:34:24.949-05:00What a great idea, we always have bird feeders out...What a great idea, we always have bird feeders out but I love the idea of the pine cones.

(And I totally agree with you about preschoolers.) Such fun to see yours, and with a bird! You've inspired me to make some. xoJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606982492407185097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034763117384760288.post-42578635569749496982014-02-14T20:10:19.615-05:002014-02-14T20:10:19.615-05:00I just loved this, Susan!
