The Scarecrow Cometh!


What beautiful blue eyes you have!



The first of October means the annual visit of our resident Scarecrow, known as Mr. SC. 

When Mr. SC was constructed a number of years ago, I was happy and content to just have two pieces of lumber nailed together with a face and a hat.  However, the Headmaster, with his engineering background, insisted that the frame be much more elaborate.  So...THIS guy has an entire (almost) skeletal system made of PVC!  

He sits on a straw bale the we keep using over and over, and has a great view of the fall color on our street.



Just look at that sweet face!



His attire is courtesy of a local thrift shop (though he does need a new tie).  He's also apparently been pumpkin picking!


This year, he has new accessories, all from the Dollar Tree:  A red-eyed rat (that also squeaks),



and on his hat, one of the famous black crows - look at those eye lashes!


Cornstalks came with the corn attached!



He's all set to greet the neighborhood children on Halloween night!


And here he is 'under the spotlight!'


Quite frankly, I really don't think he'll be scaring ANYONE; he's too cute!
