Boredom Buster

If I could bottle our recent weather and sell it, I would be quite rich in seconds. Just gorgeous. March is my favorite month in the desert - spring with no rain or mud! Just all of the beauty and sunshine. But February has been just as fantastic this year. We've been at various parks and playgrounds all month and in kind of a rut. So I consulted the "What to do?" jar I made full of ideas. None of them jumped out at Everett, so I suggested something new. I had a giant bag of birdseed in the garage that was just sitting there since our bird feeder broke during a storm. I pulled it out and poured the seed into their empty water table, armed them with measuring spoons and cups, and let them loose! What fun they had!! And are still having. Total score on my part. Although my husband is fearing when the birds realize all that seed that was "accidentally" dumped out of the table. So far, my guard dog seems to be keeping them away since she suns herself on the grass 24/7, and then has to lay in the shade of the swing set to cool down. A shout out to the ol' girl!
