whimsical wednesday!

the birds are happy!  my day began with making my whimsical wednesday bird treats.  monday three suggestions were offered for making a bird treat.  i made all three!  a mixture of peanut butter, bird seed, orange and apple bits were blended together to form the treat.  some of the treat was spread on the pinecone, some tucked into the polka dots made in a whole apple and the rest filled the two halves of an orange.  the pinecone and apple  were placed at the bird feeding station in the back yard and the orange halves were placed in the half log feeder on the rail along the porch off the sunroom.  all were placed where they were because i can see them readily from the sunroom, where i spend most of my time.  as i sipped a cup of hot tea (tea is grand!) i watched for birds to discover their newly offered treats.  it wasn't long when one, then two, then several birds began feasting on the apple, pinecone and orange.  oh joy.  happy birds, happy me!
