A duck walks into a drug store and buys a chapstick. The clerk says, "Will that be cash or charge?" The duck says, "Just put it on my bill!"

Hey AndyCamper friends!

We’re well into autumn and I hope you’ve all been out doing some of the activities in our newsletter and on Andycamper.com!

This week’s newsletter is all about birds. Right now is a great time to get outside and go bird watching because it’s migrating season! Whether you’re from the north or the south, right now is the time for new birds to arrive in your backyard.

Bird watching, or “birding“ is a very popular pastime for many people, but it can be tricky for the novice bird watcher. Check out some of the activities you can do to get closer to the birds on Andycamper.com. My favourite is the pinecone birdfeeder, but watch out for hungry friends like Bess! Last time I made one she got into the peanut butter and made a mess!

That’s all for now, have a happy Thanksgiving weekend!

Andy

Step 4: With the knife, spread peanut butter inside the pinecone and around the edges.
