Raise your hand if you’ve ever owned a Scarecrow?
Me either…
Not until this summer!
Allow me to introduce you…
Meet Tilly, the hardest working scarecrow in the county.
Rain or shine she is always on the job.
I don’t mind bragging that since she started we haven’t lost a single vegetable.
I’ve been dreaming of my very own “Tilly” for a while…
long before we even planted our garden.
Actually, my thoughts of her began last spring when the old roto-tiller refused to start.
As Sir Lots-a-Wit was getting more and more frustrated with each yank of the rope –
I was secretly hoping it would not start.
As he was making adjustments and checking the plug for a spark, I found myself trying to hide my toothy grin as thoughts of “her” began to swirl in my mind.
When he finally decided that old tiller could not be resurrected, I knew exactly what it could be used for…
“Tilly” would soon come to be.
My attempts to describe the picture of her in my head was met with furrowed brows and looks of confusion –
I get it, it is an unusual kind of scarecrow.
This project needed a drawing!
Once he saw my crude drawing, I could see by the twinkle in those baby blues he knew what I was after!
I will admit right here that my contribution was the clothing and the hat.
And the bubble butt –
for whatever reason, I had drawn her with a bubble butt.
Then one morning – Sir Lots-a-Wit, along with our grandkids, called me out to the garden…
and there she was –
with a death grip on that old broken down tiller!
her legs straight out behind her…
as if the tiller was running away with her!
and of course that adorable bubble butt.
Sir Lots-a-Wit is too humble to say so –
but I will shout it from the mountain tops –
This man can do anything!!!
well, anything except resurrect a tired old roto-tiller!!
Thank goodness.

I am so darn proud of you two. Tilly the roto tilling scarecrow is adorable. Knew you two were smart, but I am so impressed that you had this beautiful dream and have made it work. Steve was telling me about it and I finally got online and got my name on the list.
Looks like a beautiful place & would love come visit it sometime.

Our Sweet Aunt Dixie! Thank you so much for your kind words. We would love for you to visit us very soon. Your room is waiting, come on!
Love, Sir Lots-a-Wit and Lady Laughs-a-Lot
This is too funny. I wish I could see bubble Tilly in real life. Sir Lots-a-wit comes through again. He reminds me of my husband always completing my off the wall ideas. Is it the blue eyes that make them so cool like that??
Hey Dorothy – She really is adorable. You are one of the lucky ones to have a hubby with skills and patience for our projects!
Thanks for reading and taking time to comment.

OMG, that is the funniest lawn art I have ever seen! Great idea by you and execution by Sir Lots-of-Wit.
You BOTH can do anything!!
Mary Kay – I knew you would love Tilly! In my heart I am dying to paint the broken tiller RED, but my brain is screaming “Enough with the RED!”
I am needing a Mary Kay fix soon….
