The Happy Scarecrow

October 30, 2014 by Susan Shay 2 Comments

Like my new header? The happy scarecrow was a guest at our church’s Harvest Hoedown one year (Last year, I think. LOL) and I couldn’t keep from snapping his pic.

I had four pics to choose from.

I love old wagons. The rustier the better!

And I love, love, love old barns. I thought this was so cool!

I almost chose this one. Do you like it? I do!

But The Happy Scare Crow won out. Why?

Because his arms are spread wide in welcome,

he has a happy grin on his face

and he makes me feel good!

That’s what I want for visitors here at STW. Be happy, feel good and know you’re very welcome!

So which pic do you like? I’ll use the others later.

I like the barn, as it reminds me of my childhood, selfish aren’t I? 🙂 We had an old barn with roof of porcelain metal signs from Barnsdall Oil Company. I don’t think Dad had any idea the worth that those signs were gonna be one day.

The smell of hay, animals and rain drops on tin roof was such a great time in my life.

Thanks for writing again, as I check several blogs to see what a wonderful world we live in.

  Hi Larry! Too cool about the sign roofed barn. I’ll probably use my barn pic next. I have a few more barn I’ve snapped along the way, and a few old barn memories. I love that dusty hay smell it seemed was always present.
  I probably will use the barn pic next.
  Thanks for stopping by. 😀
