The garden on Huling now has a famous bride and groom for scarecrows. I saw them out on my walk with Poppy. She didn't notice them until we got right in front of them and freaked out, barking and snarling, they scared her so badly. So I guess they work, though Poppy's not likely to ravage the veggies.

Love the food selections. The scarecrows are great. Poppy would need those veggies fried before even thinking about eating them.
you need to make a trek to Graceland on Vigil night and hang with my mother and her friends as they 'tailgate' for the vigil and have a great time. Seriously it is worth the drive to Whitehaven!
Give our friend who lives in FLA a call for my number.
SERIOUSLY - you will laugh!
We are heading to Florida for Death week and we need reps from 38103 to represent.
Sparkling - Poppy would also need for the veggies to be stuffed with cheese and then deep fried. I'm surprised the garden has done so well out in such a public place.
CT - I have been to the Vigil before but never to a Vigil "tailgate". Sounds like the right thing to do and I don't want to let 38103 down!
