Costumes create patience, don't they? Your granddaughter was lovely in that sky-blue! Also laughed at the unfashionable scarecrows. :)

I'm glad you wrote this, Gillena. I like scarecrows, we never had any on our Nebraska farm growing up. But I knew about them though. Did you know that the scare crow is the only remaining Goddess statue? It is a remnant of the Goddess of Fertility, those early farmers thought she made their crop grow bigger and better and so produced more using them, really it did scare plundering birds away from the crop. They kept on using them.
