A Headless Horseman for Scarecrow

 For today's countdown to Halloween, a bit of local news. Last weekend, we went to a nearby village's "Scarecrow Festival," a tradition started in 2020, which is also a bit of a Halloween festival before the big night. It was a perfect autumn day when we went, sunny and cool. They had lots and lots of scary scarecrows, some not so scary, some just funny, others sweet. One of them was this one, a headless horseman of sorts, with his "head" a Jack O'Lantern, held under his arm. And with the autumn wreath by the door, it was just perfect.

Nice! A village near us has a scarecrow festival in early October as well. Its fun to walk around and see the variations people come up with.

I didn't notice the polo stick! Yes, that establishes his horseman credentials.
