Saturday, November 14 2009 - Winter Activities

So the winter has well and truly started. It’s cold enough to freeze your butt off and the heavy snow ruined many of the trees in our street.

It was heavy snow, saturated with water, and the trees had not shed their leaves yet so it all fell and rested on the branches. We’ve got trees here that are completely splintered. Fallen branches have been pushed aside off the streets, but many have not yet been completely removed.

I had this idea to create peanut strings for birds. I bought a bag of peanuts that weren’t very tasty, but didn’t want to throw them away. So I got some needle and thread from Bella, strung a row of them together and hung them from the bars in front of out window.

I’ll see if birds actually eat from them before I do any more.
