A trip to the hospital for an ultrasound this weekend provided a couple of things . . . Anja was able to see her baby sister again and we happened upon a good idea to help us all enjoy more of the natural world. What's the big deal? Well, we decided that a bird feeder in the backyard was long overdue. So, off to Fleet Farm we went!
Anja picked out the pinkest bird feeder in the lot, a 40 lb. bag of bird feed, and a two-pronged shepherd's hook. We were set.
She helped pour the bird seed, then started shouting, "Come eat, birds!" This is when we tried to explain that the birds are a little shy, so it's best to watch them from a window inside. We think she's okay with this, but bless her heart, we know she would much rather stay outside to personally welcome them over for some snacks.
She then proceeded to continuously roll down the hill. I loved this. I hope that this is something Anja can teach her little sister . . . to get a little dirty and to enjoy the simple things.
