Scarecrows

Wyatt has taken it upon himself to make a scarecrow to scare the birds out of mom and dads garden. They have been eating everything! So Wyatt took the girls out and went o find some straight sticks to make himself a scarecrow. His helper girls, who chose to help by playing in the dirt and staying out of the way.

A better angle of the scarecrow.
This of course didn't work. Wyatt tied some bags onto its hands and when the wind blew they would blow. It worked for a few hours (maybe). The best was the horses, they kept looking in the garden all curious and what not to see what it was. So after a day of this scarecrow not scaring the birds, Wyatt went out with Sterling and shot them. Or tried. They only got a few, but it helped in the "annoyed at the birds" department! We'll see if that teaches them a lesson!
