"Happy Crow" Kids Welcome Autumn


My very young, but smart, granddaughter and I had quite a conversation the other day.


Out on the front porch is a collection of scarecrow kids, made from straw, of course.


They make a comeback from the attic every fall. 


The little one wanted to know why they are called "scarecrows" when, after all, they are happy, not scary.

Uhhhh, well, most scarecrows do just what their name suggests-----they scare away the crows in the yard, I explained.

"But Grammie, the kids are happy and should not be called 'scarecrows.' "


The voice of reason was heard.

The "kids" were immediately renamed  the "happy crow kids."

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THE WISDOM OF CHILDREN?

  1. Children are precious, aren't they? I can always tell Autumn has arrived when I see the scarecrows in the yards. Nel still has a scarecrow decoration from when she was a kid. Your "happy crow kids" are delightful, Susan.

  3. Their logic and wonder make us stop and think, life is simple until we grow up and fill it with problems.

  4. Oh I know how sweet your little ones are. Children see the world so differently than we do. Isn't it wonderful?
