Peanut butter pinecone bird feeders

The Project has started and so two walls of this room are now painted orange. Bud woke me up this morning to inform me, "there is an orange glow coming from the office," and before I was entirely coherent I bolted up, thinking, where the hell are the dogs and why is there radio-active material in the guest room? Practice for being a mom, I guess. When I saw his smile I realized, no, no, Hope, you painted it yesterday. I love the color so far. I got this young, Crayola feeling last night as I looked at the first half of the fruits of my labor. That same feeling I always got when the art teacher would come to our class room and thunk! down a big hunk of clay. I knew I wasn't particularly artistic but the prospects were so exciting! Here mom, it's a bird! Oh, how about it goes right next to the macaroni necklace - in the back of my closet?
