Competition

We spent some time walking around Hexham this afternoon. It was a bit rainy and cool. It feels funny to wear jackets at the end of May! But it was nice to get out, and Mommy finally bought a pair of wellies! You really need them here with all of the rain!

Over the last few days we noticed some strange things along our road, and we finally stopped today on our way home from town to take some pictures. Apparently there is a scarecrow competition going on, and there are some pretty impressive ones! I have pictures of a few of our favorites.

The first is Harry Potter, and of course, he is fighting Voldemort, who is right across the street. I don't know much about these people, but I think it is funny that he is holding a broom!

My personal favorites are Woody and Buzz!

Then there's the fox that is riding a horse (don't tell him that it's actually a wall that he's on).

And a little piece of home... NASA man floating in space.

Here he is from the front!

This guy was the first one we saw, and we couldn't figure out what was going on. It looks like someone fell on this hedgerow!

I also love Gru and the minion from Despicable Me.

This police officer is standing right on the corner, and he looks quite real as you are driving along! I'm sure lots of people have slowed way down upon seeing him!

I asked Daddy if the guy up there were Chef Pisghetti from Curious George. Looks like it to me!

And then these are just some wolves in sheep's clothing. Ha!

You never know what you are going to see around here! I love it!
