Peanuts at the Top of the List

I had to slow way down today, write a small list of things I needed to get done, and let all the rest go.  One of the things at the top of my list today (and this might surprise you) was to replenish the unsalted and roasted peanuts for the scrub jays.  Watching our backyard birds helps ease personal anxieties and restores peace of mind.

P.S.  Birds need unsalted peanuts, as salt is not good for them (nor for us!).  Roasted is best as scrub jays like to bury peanuts, and if they're roasted, they cannot germinate.
