A Small Town's Parade of Voters/Scarecrows

(Note:  this post was written Tuesday, Voting Day)  As I write this post I can hear numerous groups of both small children heading past my home on their way to their bus stops, and people heading to the voting polls located 1/2 block up the street from me.

As I have nothing to say today on either of those fronts, education or politics, (and trust me you don't want to get me started there either), I've decided to go with a Fall decor theme today.

I live in a very small town, but in spite of that the Garden Club in my town is very active.  Eating lunch one day in a cafe on the main street, I looked across the street to see that the club members had decorated the town park with a plethora of scarecrows for the Fall season.  So I took myself on a leisurely walk through the park and gathered some pictures along the way.

Here then is our Parade of Scarecrows:

Little ones too hiding in and under the bushes

Look closely at this last one and you will see he's got a fishing rod.  I found myself chuckling numerous times as I strolled through the park, and surely a lot of creativity went into some of the characters I saw there.  I wondered if some of the creations were representations of the careers or hobbies of the people that put them together.  

Alas, the last time I drove by, they were gone.  POOF.  Gone.  

I guess that means Christmas is coming.  

And.   I'm.  Not.  Ready.
