This past weekend we were treated to a one night vacation at a beautiful and well known mountain resort town nearby. Our unseasonably warm autumn weather came to an abrupt end with a 25 degree drop in temperatures and mountain snow the night we arrived. Despite the cold snap, we were anxious to get out into the crisp air I have waited for all year long. We had no real plans for our time but had noticed a biking trail running close to the road on our drive in and decided to search for a way onto it when we woke up in the morning. We were delighted when we stumbled across the town's "Scarecrows at the Farm." The fences lining the trail for half a mile or so were lined with scarecrows created by school groups, scout troops, and families. A few of our favorites are pictured below. (I'm almost inspired to try to get something like this going along the biking trail in my own little town next year.) The air smelled of falling leaves and fresh snow; the bright autumn leaves were dusted in white. It was a perfect morning.

| Really?! Who would expect to find a squid at a scarecrow festival of all places. And nothing gives my boys a thrill more then squid. Did they know my boys were coming? This was part of a 3R's scarecrow, (reduce, reuse, recycle) and yes, we will definitely be making these at home. |
