Hm. If I’m reading this correctly, this scarecrow sounds like a helluva lotta fun. 😉
And if I’m not … well … I need to get out more often. o.O
I wanted to play on the dual meanings, certainly. so your reading is fine 😉
Although if you do catch yourself daydreaming about scarecrows.. .yeah, probably get out a bit more 😀
Mmmmm….that’s one FINE scarecrow…. Fine, indeed….
[Wait…. What were we talking about?]
