Scarecrows and Showers

We have had some spectacular frost. Frost on the pottery houses.
Frosted flower heads

Frost on the butterfly.

No buzzing around for this bee

Superb ice puddles.

Intricate patterning

Christmas and New Year are passed so all the scarecrows have taken off their festive clothes. This is the time of year when we get snow and rain so all the scarecrows are dressed ready to face any weather.

Charlie Barley could only find a small red poncho which offers little protection against the rain. He is hoping he may be supplied with a more robust outfit.
Just a tad too small

Crazy Maisie was very disappointed to find that her raincoat was a dull blue colour. She decided to have hair extensions so at least there is something to brighten up her appearance.
Feeling blue

Lotta Bottle was not happy. She had to wear Looby Loo's cast off raincoat. The fact it was a size small did not bother her as she is still able to show her figure to its best advantage.
 A ladybird spotted raincoat has no street cred

Boozy Floozie has chosen to wear a pretty spotted raincoat. She was concerned that her wine glass would not fit down the sleeve but was able to wear it around her neck. A tipple of sloe gin is quite warming in the cold weather.

Looby Loo loves her new flower power raincoat.
Happy as can be

Bobby Barley has a football poncho so he is highly delighted.
Footie rules OK
Friends together

I was given the sign as a Christmas present. It makes me laugh every time I read it. 
Don't say you haven't been warned
