Day 3: Kind of a flop

I had bigger plans for the day but church wore me out and the sky was gray.  I napped instead.  So all I had time for was a little project with my 5-year-old daughter.  Since they talked about Mother Earth today in their RE (religious education) class, we talked about ways we could take care of the Earth.  When our plans to go pick up litter with Keep Horn Lake Beautiful bombed because of rain, we decided to do an indoor Earth project.

We took a couple pine cones, crunchy peanut butter, and bird seed, and made some natural bird feeders.  As if the birds around our apartment aren’t fat enough:

More tomorrow, because guess what??  I’m starting a beginner’s crochet class tomorrow night!
