Feed the Birds

Dearest Ruby,
         It's late summer now, approaching Autumn, but still with plenty of sunshine around.

There isn't so much to do out in your garden. We've been deadheading the Cosmos to keep it flowering as long as possible and the 'Ruby Rose' too.

         So, our attention has turned to looking out for the birds !

 

I found I have some bird seed...

You took some in your hand but you couldn't reach the feeder to put it in the saucer.

 



 

So you put the seed on the lid of the box instead.

 

Then I tipped it onto the saucer.

 

There we are!

We'll add a fat ball when the days get colder because really there is plenty of insects and autumn berries for them still to eat from the garden.

They will get to know it's there though.

 

Indoors we have made a pudding for your tea, Chocolate Crackolat, a good old family favourite.

 

 

Umm! Well done Ruby... one of your first attempts to feed yourself unaided. Look at Grandad sitting back so relaxed.

 

It takes some concentration...

 

to keep it on the spoon.

 

 

Pop it in....

 

...and come back for more,

 because that's a big pudding to get through.

I'll help you eat it, but I think some will find it's way home for you to guzzle later.

 

 

Love and hugs,    Nana x
