Yes, tonight’s picture is of Ben next to the scarecrow he and hos nanny worked so hard on.  I decided to find a pole and put it up today, in between work things, as a surprise.  It had been in our garage for over a week.

But they both loved it, as they should.  It was a labor of love for both of them.  And with all the stuff going on in our country and world right now it was nice to see a grandparent and grandchild do something so meaningful together.  It makes me miss doing things with my grandparents…..I miss them so much!!

But the scarecrow is spectacular and it fools even me, even after I put it up.  I have looked outside more than once and thought, “who’s that in my yard???”  It is pretty realistic.

The sad reality is however, we have no crops that need protecting.  Our garden was a victim of the drought, and of course not much grows in November anyhow.  But I will say, it is pretty cool to have the only scarecrow on the block.

And sometimes being the only one is enough.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
