Literally for the birds.
This is one you’ll want to do outside. We’re supposed to have a week of sunshine so we hung ours out in the open… but they would probably “weather” best under the soffit. The girls had a lot of fun making these. It took me back to our early days of marriage when Justin and I made our own suet. We actually packed our freezer full of it one year. This recipe is similar to what we used to make {although we added raisins, nuts, and other dried fruit… the woodpeckers loved it}. You can find lard at the grocery store in the Crisco aisle, it’s in a green and white box and made by Armour.
We made our little pine cone feeders on Saturday afternoon as I was trying to prepare for our gathering. Sometimes I think I’ve lost my mind when I decide to do a “kid project” while getting ready for a “grown up party”… but it wasn’t too bad!
We had a great time Saturday night. I did not have to prepare the food, it was a covered dish and everything was delicious. And I’m mad that I didn’t take a single picture… maybe next time!
I hope you all are enjoying your Monday! It’s sunny and chilly here… everyone is down for naps which calls for some “naptime tea” for this Momma!
