Retired

I always said that I would keep doing the scarecrow contest until I lost, in the hopes that the competition would step it up and I would be beaten by a better entry.  Well... the not winning part came to pass.  I've thought about continuing with it but for several reasons, I am done.  Partly because of the way things turned out but mostly because of the comment I get several times every year, "I bet your house looks amazing!"  The sad truth is, I spent so much time working on my scarecrow that my own home was neglected.  Literally almost nothing, so this year I am going to spend that time on my own projects.
