An old fashioned harvest festival

I love this time of year, it seems like when the weather cools down and the harvest arrives, there is so much to do around here.  This past weekend, we had a chance to go to a harvest festival and the girls loved it.  It was fun to relax and just be outside, listen to some live music, take in a hayride and visit some animals.  What a great weekend!

I was fascinated by these wool nesting balls for the birdies.  In the Fall and Winter, they pull pieces of wool and use it for their nests.   Along the same lines, I found a little tutorial for bird nests here.  I figured it would be a crafty project for us to attempt....I know, add this one to the long list of others!  A girl can dream, can't she?
