Earth Day - 112/365

Today is Earth Day! 
It's a day to focus on the Earth and draw some attention to treating it right, so we can continue to enjoy it for as long as we're all here. 
We decided to celebrate Earth Day by having Reagan do a little craft to honor the earth and the wildlife around our house. We made a recycled bird feeder! We collected four empty toilet paper rolls, peanut butter and bird seed. We smeared peanut butter over the toilet paper roll. Then, rolled it in bird seed until it was covered. Reagan just had the best time! She loved covering them up with seed. She wasn't as thrilled with the spreading of the peanut butter because she can't stand to have stuff on her hands...LOL! She kept saying "wipe mine hands!" After we finished all four, we took them out to the Magnolia trees by the deck. We put two in one tree and two in the other tree. Now, we'll just have to see if we get any visitors! 
The rest of the day was just status quo. Hit the trail and had some lunch with Nana. I cut the grass for the second time already. While I was mowing, Jim and Reagan went to the playground. It was a beautiful day with not a cloud in the sky. Also, technically today, I got up at 4AM to watch the Lyriad Meteor Shower. I ended up seeing 4 in the hour that Brinkley and I stood out there. I had my camera set up but didn't catch any on camera. I got some great star pictures though! I gave up around 5 and went back to bed...LOL! 
The photo of the day is Reagan rolling her toilet paper roll in the bird seed...
   Of course I had to share a picture of the finished product in the tree....
