What is it?

So I was sitting and reading the other day, when Mr. Ken comes bounding down the stairs. He is mumbling something about “Have to get to the store as soon as possible.” Usually, the only time Mr. Ken “bounds” is when there is a donut involved.

Away he goes and comes back about an hour later; he disappears once again and comes back with the object above.

Can you guess what it is? A slight hint, according to Mr. Ken, if you look closely you can see some milkweed seeds. 🙂
