For the birds...

This morning we made treats. Amazingly enough they were not for us!
But for the birds!
Holden was super excited to make the birds some birdseed muffins! We followed a recipe I found online, which included her favorite ingredient, honey. Of course she had to consume several "honey spoons" in the process. Thanks to Auntie Barbo and Uncle Johnny, we're supplied with delicious honey from their farm! Lucky us! Lucky birds!


After we lightly toasted the muffins in the oven, we poked a hole in them and threaded them on some ribbon to hang on our tree.


This is our bird-watching tree. We have an excellent view of it from our living room.

Now the waiting...

And waiting....   (little one is impatient)

More waiting...

Ah ha! A bird!

It perched next to the rock on the stump to check out the muffin of birdseed.

Finally! 
The girls were delighted to watch the birds enjoy their treat!
