Tweet Treat


The personalities that come standard issue on my boys are as different as Lightening McQueen and Tow Mater from cars. While Cooper empathizes with the freezing birds outside, Mason will chase them away. As Mason gobbles the mixings for our pine cone bird feeders, Coop rolls his eyes and says things like, "Mom! Make him stop, that's really gross." The bird feeder that Cooper made was painstakingly pressed together, each raisin and pine nut precariously positioned for optimum feeding. Mason's bird feeder was really just a collection of what was left on his plate after he finished off the snacks himself.

I'm not sure the birds have taken notice of the pine cones hanging in our yard. But every day we check.

This is a great idea...bird feeders. I read a legend that on Christmas Eve the animals and birds of the forest are blessed with the ability to speak, and if you are very quiet and go to the forest on Christmas Eve, you will hear them praising the Christ Child and acknowledging that their animal friends were part of the nativity. Isn't that a lovely Legend.
