Harvest Spirit

It is October!! Once again the holiday season starts. I think I enjoy it more than the kids. Tavius & Jasmin followed me to on an adventure to make a fun fall decoration for outside the house Friday. We pulled into Higley Feed and Tavius, asked, "What is this place?" After holding baby chickens, black and yellow; the kids watched me load a bail of straw into the back of the truck. We drove home with straw flying out of the truck. I know Josh thinks I am crazy at times, but he just smiles and says, "Where do you want it?" We gathered pumpkins from the market, flowers from the craft box and then I decided we needed to make a scarecrow. THAT WAS THE BIG PROJECT.

Halfway through it I was about to quit and Josh said, "You can't quit now you your too far in!" He has always been motivator when I need it. Tavius and I took off to the second hand store for clothes and the craft store for raffia and stuffing. We, sewed, stuffed, cut, glued and tied! The scarecrow turned out a little scary but was worth all the work. We will add to it as the season unfolds.......
