Mr. Freckles

Introducing our newest addition to the family, Mr. Freckles the scarecrow. After seeing a similar one at the pumpkin patch, Jasper was determined to make his own. Our first stop, Goodwill for some true scarecrow garb and then on to the farm for a bale of hay (let's not talk about the random pieces of hay I am still finding in the car!!). Upon completion, Jasper quickly named him Mr. Freckles due to a handsome pattern of green spots all over his face.

So much of our outdoor play has been centered around Mr. Freckles. Jasper often brings him food (usually a sprig of rosemary or an acorn top) and adorns his hat with a leaf bouquet.
