The Scarecrow Festival this year

 Yesterday, we went to the Scarecrow Festival of a nearby village. The third one since 2020. Wolfie loves it, for him it is like a scarecrow hunt. It is a festival that is just as much about Halloween and Jack O'Lanterns than it is about scarecrows, so it is also for us a Halloween tradition. A tradition that emphasises the autumnal aspects of Halloween as well as its association with harvest. We did not spend as much time as we wanted, but enough to see that the friendly scarecrow with the pumpkin head on the promotional leaflets is now also real one. He looks quite friendly, I must say. It is pretty much their mascot. Maybe we should give it a name. Make your suggestions in the comments.
