We don’t have a chance with the squirrels, rabbits and who knows what roaming in from the woods in our backyard, but we try~
HHjr planted the garden last weekend and said, “You and Superboy need to make a scarecrow for the garden, Mom, it can be a blog project…”
They know if they tell me I should blog it that I’ll do it 🙂
It sounded like fun so I asked him to build me a framework for the base. Do not be offended, this is not a religious symbol, it’s simply two boards put together for a torso frame
Yep, she’s classy, duct tape and rubber gloves
But hey, 5 minutes and what we could find in the garage and she’s lookin’ good!
“Her boobs are too big Gigi!”
Yes, he said that…
He also knows what a souffle is and that you must serve it immediately before it falls~
“Where on earth did you learn that?” I asked
“Cartoons,” he replied
Not quite 7, and he knows about boobs and soufflees…
sigh…
We gave her a hat, sunglasses and some lipstick
and off she went to the garden
HHjr screwed the base into the garden box side so she wouldn’t topple over in a thunderstorm
There she is in all her glory!
The worst part is HHjr said from the street it looks like I’m working in the garden! Then he laughed hysterically~
Oh great… well, at least she’s got lipstick on!
How do you keep pests out of your garden? Those little silver tags are pieces of duct tape on strings tied to the posts… more classy stuff 🙂
Like I said this was literally a 5 minute project, and so far she’s doing a great job! But every time I look out the window I think somebody’s in our backyard~
