Barbie, The Scarecrow

It's time for cherry picking! We have three great cherry trees that produce an abundance of sweet cherries and every June I sit on the patio swing and stress out about the many birds that swoop down and devour them. I wouldn't mind sharing the top part of the tree with them, but they get piggy and want it all. This year, I want to be able to dehydrate alot of them for our family's winter fruit and so my husband came up with a plan that seems to be working. Barbie!!! He found a Barbie head at a yard sale on Saturday and put it on a rock in the yard. It even scares us when we look out into the yard, forgetting it's there and see it on the rock. He also had 2 of ours sons put pie tins in the tree. But, I think it's Barbie that has them scared!!
