Just took the dog to the park, and there were dozens of these homemade suet feeders to help the birds over winter. Reminder that there is still kindness in the world.

This fic just turned 1, so here it is again for #taketwotuesday
I like to think it's a joyful story, despite it starting in a sad place. Mind the tags though, for sure, and DM me if there's anything you'd like to know before diving in 💖
