For the birds

Aww... how cool is this?

Spinners and knitters in the US are reminding each other this week that it is nesting time and they need to put out their fibre scraps for the birds. There's something lovely in the idea of providing a little wire feeder filled with silk and wool next to the boring old red peanuts.

I think I might try it with some of my scraps and then look for multicoloured nests in my neighbourhood next month!

Oh, and Mars is now in Cancer until May, so it seems an appropriate time all round to be nesting. Sweet.
