We went for a long walk in the late afternoon on Friday collecting leaves and pine cones for our project (though the pine cones were wet and small, not quite what I had in mind for the bird base). We discovered an apple tree in the Mark Twain park so picked a few apples too. Andy requested using the apple for the bird's head. Hmm, challenging but we made it work. As Andy was helping me taping down things, he stuck the roll of tape under the apple for the base -- the boy is more creative than me.
