Our "Squirrel" Feeder

Well, it's supposed to be a bird feeder but Joseph and I are pretty sure the squirrels will get to it first!
Ready to get started
One done, one to go...
Spreading the peanut butter on the pinecone. Next, roll it in the bird seeds.
All done!
Helping Daddy stake the flag pole in front of the house.
Hopefully the squirrels will have a hard time getting up that pole
and the birds will get to enjoy the food instead!
Hanging the pinecone bird feeders
My, what a BIG pinecone!
Hiding out by the tree so the birds wouldn't be scared of us
Patiently waiting for the birdies
(None came tonight but we'll keep you posted...)
Thanks to Juli for the bird seed!

UPDATE: Two days later both pine cones had mysteriously disappeared! We don't know if the birds or squirrels got them but Joseph's working on a new improved design for next time, :-).
