Bird Feed Experiment

Today when Rosa and Owen went down for a sleep Joshua and I dug out some wood pieces, a saw, chisel, some screws, hooks, some fence paint and brushes and set to work making a stand for our bird feeders. Ta-da!

Over the next few days it will be out with the binoculars, and sitting by the front window to observe our local birds (we positioned it so we could observe from front window) and conduct an experiment. We are on the lookout to see which bird feed is most popular with birds in our yard

This type of large sunflower seed-

Or this smaller mix of seeds-

So stay posted in a week or so (whether permitting) and we'll keep you informed!

When we finished our stand the younger two woke up and the three had a jolly romp around...

Nice to be outdoors again after a chilly morning!

Green Testament Girl

Rosa has really taken to this little green New Testament. She took it to bed for her nap the other day, layed it snuggly on her pillow as she does with her Lou Lou (doll), made herself comfortable and slipped into the land of nod.

Today she has been carrying it about again (even matches her jumper!)

Why don't you have a read?

Tinker Tailor ....

My big boy has been having a go on the sewing machine. We had a simple panel print of a friendly snoopy given to us by David's Aunt. Josh very slowly (only because Mum insisted on this:) sewed around the edge. Without too much unpicking he managed to do it by himself. He even stitched up the opening without too much blood!

One very proud tailor!

Good job Josh Tom!
