Sunflowers Are for the Birds!

I think the sunflowers that we planted have just about had it! They were nice while they lasted, though. Jason was going to cut them down but we came up with another idea, instead. I thought it was worth sharing on here.

With cooler weather on its way, we cut and bundled our sunflowers together with twine and propped them up in our yard to use as natural bird-feeders. As the giant heads continue to dry out, producing sunflower seeds...it will give the birds in our area quite the feast! (And hopefully, we'll benefit by seeing some interesting birds!)
