Scarecrows





In Ellie’s book “The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything” the old lady gets chased by shoes, pants, a shirt, gloves, a hat and a scary pumpkin head. In the end the lady tells them that she is not afraid of them and they are unhappy because they don’t have a purpose anymore.  So the old lady gives them an idea of what else they could do and the book ends with them being a scarecrow in the lady’s garden and scaring all the crows away.

Ever since we started talking about a garden, Ellie has talked about having a scarecrow to scare all the crows away. Now every morning we can look out our windows and see the scarecrows doing their job.

They seem to be keeping the birds away, as well as startling many of our friends who think there are people standing in our garden!
