I wanted to share a little mid-day fun, we had on Monday!  We hadn't yet built a snowman...and what's winter in Michigan, without a snowman in your yard?  We added a little twist to ours, instead of a traditional snowman (the picture above is not ours-my digital doesn't work in snow)... we made 2-foot snowmen and put them up on our patio...  we then decorated them with nature-stuff only...twigs and pine needles and lots of birdseed!  We used pecans for eyes and peanuts for the mouth....we spread peanutbutter on a large-fat stick and sprinkled birdseed on it for the nose....hoping the birds will come and sit on it!  Wouldn't that make an awesome picture?

We had three starlings flittering around, eating up all the pecans...and bluejays loving the peanuts!

It's been really fun to watch!
