Is it snowy or bitterly cold where you are? This is a great outdoor project for January...and the kids can help! Our birds nearly cleaned out their coffee mug suet feeder last year...and I'm thinkin' that it's time to make a new one again. 🙂 (Just remember- no bacon grease or other soft fats. 💙 Gotta keep our birds safe!) -> http://bit.ly/2j1N2QU
