Month: October 2008

Buster doesn’t do real well when I ask him to pose for a photo. I think he’s in the model’s union and knows I don’t have a contract.

Here’s the two scarecrows I put up. Both scarecrows were boys but I wanted to make one into a girl, so I added “lipstick” and “mascara.” Then I cut off the bow tie raffia and glued it under the hat to make “her” bangs. The pumpkins are a mix of real and plastic. I wanted to get them out before the trick or treaters come out tonight.

Buster thinks the whole project was silly but gives him something new to pee on when he goes out for his “morning constitutional.”

This time of year the change of seasons gets me thinking about the yard and being outside. I like to take short walks in the morning with my dogs before I have to leave for work. When I get home, the dogs are glad to see me and ready to go back outside for as long as I am willing to stay out with them. Of course they are on a leash – I would never let them risk their lives by running wild. And it is good for me to be outside anyway.

I want to put out some pumpkins and maybe a scarecrow or garland around my mailbox post. I’ll see what I can come up with.
