We Have Mice!
Okay. Not really. (Well, actually, probably really in our basement, but let's not talk about that.)Last year I bought some black craft foam in hopes of making some rats and mice to decorate our outside steps. And, well, it never happened. This year, it has happened.
I got the idea from Martha. I decided to use foam (instead of paper) so I could use them on our front steps. The kids are really excited about them. And I see I need to add more. The pumpkins all came from our yard. Some from our herb garden and the largest ones from our front yard. (So happy to have finally picked them.) The two pumpkins we picked back in August started to rot, so we fed them to the chickens. And they were entirely loved. And I have a pumpkin on my dining room table (which I stole from the bottom step last night) and a little pumpkin on a bench on the front porch. I guess that makes 11 pumpkins total. Not to mention the little baby white pumpkins and gourds that grew accidentally in our garden. So, this little porch decoration cost me nothing.

Anyhoo, I need to make those mice for the library. Where or where did you get the stencils?
How wonderful that you have so many cute pumpkins. I've given up growing pumpkins in Texas and now just buy them. ;o)
You have chickens-in town? We need you on our town council-Manhattan MT is to hoity-toity to have something so disgusting as chickens! Nearby Bozeman just approved chickens so maybe.....
Not sure if I want them, but I hate that they dictate we can't have them in a town of 1200 people.
we also had early pumpkins come up that are now rotten. our local nursery has a free family pumpkin patch and hayride so we'll have more soon.
Probably ever.
And you know how I feel about decorating for the holidays...
Excellent work, Lera :)
