Daniel's Peanut Project

Yesterday while helping Grandma get potatoes out of the basement, Daniel found Daddy's big bag of peanuts. The peanuts were bought a loooonnnnggg time ago and were never opened, but are now very stale. So we gave Daniel some peanuts to put outside for the birds and squirrels to eat. We thought he would just dump the bucket of peanuts out and be on his way. Daniel had different plans.

Daniel was very excited to be setting out treats for the birds and squirrels in the yard--it was hard to get him to take a break from shelling peanuts so that we could eat dinner. After dinner he was back at it, in hopes that his work would attract some wildlife to the yard. This morning while eating breakfast his work was rewarded. We watched as the same squirrel ran in and out of the yard carrying one peanut at a time and burying them in our and the neighbor's yard.
