Scarecrows
We have been planning with Jacob to make a scarecrow for a couple of weeks now. I blame the ABC and Playschool;
Dingle dangle scarecrow
with a flippy floppy hat
I can shake my hand like this
and shake my foot like that.....
Anyway, Saturday we spent gardening again. Because it had rained the night before, (it seemed like more rain in one night than we'd had in the previous year although I can't vouch for it), because we're all really enjoying it at the moment, because it wasn't 38 degreess. How many more reasons do you need?
While practising my beginner pruning skills on one of the apple trees (summer pruning the week before autumn starts....) we noticed the neighbour's scarecrows. Obviously the birds are making merry with his fruit trees and THIS is the only rational response.
Jacob wasn't impressd and seems certain our scarecrows, once they move from concept to realisation, will be much better. I just hope he isn't expecting them to spontaneously dance.
