Making a Scarecrow for Grandma's Garden

The scholars in a certain kindergarten thought that a scarecrow would be a great addition to the garden.  Grandma brought the supplies.

The scholars provided the labor.

It was a very busy,

very productive,

morning on the floor.

The pants were easier to photograph 

than the shirts, which kept losing their underpinnings as we tried to hold them up, 

Tonight, the tops are resting on the bottoms in a quiet corner of the room, waiting to be named.   Tomorrow I'll secure the two halves and move them out to the garden where they can frighten the burrowing animal leaving tunnels through one of our beds.  

The scholars may have named them by then.  On the other hand, we may have to take a vote.

Among the many many many things for which I am thankful are moments like these.
