Going On A Pinecone Hunt
Luckily for us we didn't have to hunt for very long, or travel very far. I had a feeling there were pine trees at the park--and there were. And there were tons of pine cones to boot.
Since it is 34 degrees and blowing snow, finding the pine cones fast was nice. So, why pine cones? For crafts of course.
We made adorable pine cone turkeys and made some more pine cone bird feeders. Those birds love to stop and eat at our "deck diner," just as much as we love watching them. I never thought of myself as someone fascinated by winged animals, but now I know why Lou loved them so much. They are just so gentle and soothing, and some how very interesting to watch.
Well then, Gracie needs a pet bird! My parents just love them. Moses (the new parrot-small one) is very pretty and very colorful. Gracie, we have plenty of pinecones all around our house! The woods are full of them.
