get ready.....

birds occupy much of my attention during the winter so this whimsical wednesday let's make a homemade bird treat.   remember when we made them by spreading peanut butter on pinecones then rolling the cones in birdseed?  do this.  or, if you don't have a pinecone, use fruit.  cut an orange in half, loosen the pulp and mix seed into the pulp.  the orange itself is the container.  an apple can be used as well.  create holes in the apple by cutting out small circular sections of apple intermittently around the apple.  be sure not to poke all the way through the apple.  after making all the holes, fill the holes with peanut butter and birdseed that was premixed.
you'll have fun with this activity and, if you have children, they will enjoy doing this with you.
