Dear Baby #1

Dear Baby,

Today grandpa hung new birdfeeders. One is for the finches and the other is a platform designed for the cardinals. There are 6 total feeders to fill now. Grandpa gets so much joy watching the birds in the backyard. He hoped for you to tag along when he fills the finch feeders with niger, the cardinals get safflower seeds, and the juncos get mixed bird seed. There is also special seed for the woodpeckers and whole corn for the ducks. I just feed peanuts to the squirrels. That way they just might leave the birds alone. It was our hope that you would someday appreciate all that nature give us, the beauty and grace of watching the birds is better than anything on television. It is important that you understand the delicate balance of nature and help do your part to preserve the wildlife. We want to teach you how important it is to do no harm, to cohabitate with the creatures living around us and make them a part of your life. Today it snowed all day so the birds really relied on the seed in the feeders. Grandpa was thrilled when 3 male and 2 female cardinals were in the new platform feeder.
