More Pioneer Days pictures tomorrow. For now, I just have to show you my new scarecrows!
Tomorrow is also ‘OhWhatA Wednesday’, where you can see what plant I’ve picked as my top performer right now.

The kids, even scarecrow-less, were so cute that I had to devote a day to them.
And the promised scarecrow, kid-sized of course… Tune in for ‘OhWhatA Wednesday’ starting this week. I’ll be sharing info on what is blooming beautifully in my garden. If you’re zone 5 like me, check in to see what really works in a local gardener’s garden. More Pioneer Days pictures tomorrow. For today.. These scarecrow have a support system made from the metal tubing that your electrical wires go through. Mike called it thin-walled conduit. They were quite the project for us to build – and wow did they look good in our yard.
More pics from Pioneer Days Autumn is such a lovely time of year! Mike and I seriously look forward to it. We even chose to get married in the Fall so we could honeymoon in Door County during the color change.
Mine, of course, look especially nice because Kevin took the pictures. Not everyone agrees that mums are a good thing. Here’s a fun article that Regine sent me with a different point of view. It begins! The first batch of Pioneer Days pictures.
I’ve almost got a group of scarecrow pictures ready from last Sunday. Watch for them tomorrow. Quotes you wouldn’t hear anywhere else… “Go stuff it” (Don’s favorite) “I don’t want my eyes to match” “I can’t find my legs” “I want my whole face green” “You’re sitting on my head” “Where do I get a face” “Could you glue my head, please?”
