My grandmother and I used to do that! It was fun!

I have a bunch of pinecones that mom brought me. We don't have many trees here but we do get a few birds at the nearby homes. I thought I might do a couple of bird-feeders and hang them outside the window just to see if we get any takers. The kids would love it. |
We also used to grow gourds just to be able to make bird houses out of them!
