Scarecrow Invasion!

Scarecrows have invaded downtown Madison, CT in a competition sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Any business or community group could enter by creating a scarecrow that represented their organization and paying a nominal fee. Citizens vote on-line to select the best and proceeds will benefit the town library. I liked how they were all different. Here’s a sampling:

On my way back to NJ, I visited Gabi Coatsworth, blogger and contributor to Tangerine Tango: Women Writers Share Slices of Life.   I made sure to wear my color-appropriate sweater that I made years ago, not knowing it would become a great promotional garment. We had a good time sipping tea and chatting about the book!
