Take a walk down the Scarecrow Trail

It’s that time of year. Leaves are changing. The wind has a chill to it. The cotton is in full bloom; and everywhere you turn there’s a sign for spooky houses, corn mazes, ghouls and goblins, and the occasional pumpkin patch.

But a corn field isn’t a corn field without a scarecrow in it. And to me, Fall = scarecrows.

Maybe it was my fascination with “The Wizard of Oz” as a kid, but I love scarecrows. I love their faces, and I love how creative people can get when making their very own hay-filled friend. I love hay rides too. It was one of my favorite things as a child. Maybe I just liked hay.

Recently, I toured the Botanical Gardens Scarecrow Trail. Those scarecrows were straight out of a storybook – literally! Each one was made by a different company/group in Madison County, and they represented all different characters from storybooks.

I saw Humpty Dumpty on his wall. I saw Dorothy by the yellow brick road.
