Day 3: Love in Nature

Love In Nature! is all about appreciating the beautiful nature surrounding us.  Today we look outside our home & lift our eyes to the nature beyond the sealed door.  Many fury friends could use extra love in the harsh Winter.  We desire to share our love with nature.  Today we will create peanut butter pinecone feeders for our bird & squirrel friends.   This is a craft I learned from Girl Scouts.

These are economical & fun to make.  I typically try to make 6+ of these treasures and share them with our Grandparents. 


Materials:   
  • 6-8 pine cones (I use my cinnamon scented pine cones from Christmas... as they have no scent left)
  • peanut butter 
  • bird seed
  • cookie sheet with edges
  • twine

Let's get to work:  

  1. Pour bird seed into the cookie sheet to contain the mess
  2. Tie to twine around the pine cone so it can be hung up easily
  3. Coat push peanut butter into the pine cone- make it thick.
  4. Roll the pine cone in birdseed
  5. Tie the pine cone securely in tree or bush near a branch.
  6. Enjoy God's Creation as they feast on your nutritious treat!
Make enough to bring a couple to your parents trees too!  



On a personal note: In 2017 I made 6 bird feeders & they were gone in 1 week!  This #LoveAction is perfect timing to help our feathered friends- the chickadees just came back.  How adorable~  I had a little flock of black & white chickadees around the house. Beautiful birds.  I wish I had more bird feeders.  My target is changing to 10-15 feeders.  These birdies need this nutrition.

Joke of the Day: 
What did one magnet say to the other magnet on Valentine’s Day?

“I find you very attractive!”
