Bagel Bird Feeder
These terrific birdfeeders are a excellent project for children at home and in the classroom. One crafter named Tensie said, "We have a 4, 3, 1 and newborn in this household.  We love to watch the birds and clouds and the neighborhood resident squirrel.  This feeder is good because it does not put SO much seed out in the yard that I am growing it all IN the yard when they drop it all on the grass.  Plus our little guys can do this almost by themselves!  They love to be IN control of an activity sometimes."

Planning Your Backyard Garden
I always get excited this time of year.   I think about all the vegetable plants that I want in my garden, I run out to the stores, spend a fortune, get home and then look around and shrug, "Now what?" In my enthusiasm I forget to look at my yard first.  I forget to make a plan, a simple one, but still some kind of plan about where AM I going to put all those veggies. Here are a few tips that I have found very helpful in choosing the right spots of your garden.
