First this lovely pine graced the hill on our farm
Then it brought us great joy as our Christmas tree
and now…It is a Peanut Butter tree!
When it was time for the tree to be taken down I decided to give it yet another life.
I asked my husband to take the tree to the edge of our woods just outside my kitchen window.
He knows better than to look for reason in most anything I ask him.
Once he placed it in it’s new home he did have a few questions.
Before he could ask any I was outside with a giant jar of peanut butter and birdseed and started
“frosting” the tree with peanut butter topped off with birdseed.
It was a instant success with the birds AND many more critters that I didn’t expect
It has been a great source of entertainment…
Perhaps we are not the only ones being entertained.
This yearling deer has “floppy tongue” I was concerned about her but she is the bossiest of the group, and eating doesn’t seem to be a problem.
Maybe she is just sticking her tongue out at all of us.
It looks like it is time to “reload” the Peanut Butter Tree.
Thanks for visiting!
Stay warm and Enjoy!

Oh Kelley...
Sweetie don't you just love the circle of life. You gave the tree a life on the hill, it brought you happiness in the house, and now it is back on the hill bringing happiness to the critters. I just love it.
What beautiful critters. I love the deer, they look so fuzzy up close. The little birds and squirrels, oh my how beautiful to be able to share your land and have nature protected there. I so love it when you share.
Hope you had a beautiful Tuesday and Happy early Wednesday sweetie.
Country hugs Kelley sweetie...Sherry
Kelley what a great way to re-invent your tree. I know all the birdies in your world are singing your praises this winter.
i love all your amazing photos. The little deer is too cute.
hugs
Oh Kelley....that was so sweet and fun! What a fun idea and how lucky you are that you have that much wild life! We have bunnies, squirrels, fox, hawks, and racoons, but no deer here in the city. This brought such a smile to my lips!!!! Bisous dear lady! Anita
i don't know which phase of life i loved the most...
but my guess is the extra company...
farm living is the place to be~
This is wonderful! I love the idea of the peanut butter tree. What a wonderful way to feed all of the woodland critters:).
Blessings,

What a great idea! I must try this...except OUR horse has access to our front AND backyard. I don't think he would leave it alone! (Or that it would be safe for him Ha) I so enjoy your posts... Happy New Year!http://ofgraceandpearls.blogspot.com/
This is the best post I have read all week... great idea...I have been thinking about furry and feathered friends as well.
Loved this one.

This is a neat idea! This would also make a wonderful children's book. you should take all your pictures and create one, you are immensely talented and I know you would do a fabulous job!
This post sure made me have tons of emotions. Sad happy very happy smiling. Wow sure loved finding you. I am a follower. I love teacups too :). Your place is just beautiful. We are in the city so do not see deer at all but we do have bird feeder and love to watch them.
Kelley, I love your peanut butter tree and especially the yearling with the floppy tongue. So sweet looking. I enjoy your blog....how creative you are!!!
Hi Kelley, So your birthday is two days after mine - don't you love having all those special days together in February?! I LOVE the peanut butter tree! What a great idea. I"d love to have those animas outside my window. I get excited just seeing a hummingbird! Such lovely photos.
Hugs,
Sharon :-)
Oh that is so cute. The deer with the it's tongue out. That's how we feel when eating peanut butter cupcakes. They are so delicious.
I started out on one blog and kept linking and have had a fun half hour of blog visiting. Love your pictures! I love gardening, too.
Thanks for sharing
