Crows Hold a Meeting

Crows hold a meeting on their usual perch. I thought you were a scarecrow yells his cousin, Birch. The Scarecrow is not embarrassed, he has confidence galore. The crows are my friends, you see, now and forever more. That is not the way of the straw, you are going against your clan. I am not intentionally messing up my parents and ancestral plan. But the crows trust me, I am their go-to-perch, you see. It makes all of them happy, the scarecrow said, and I am free.

Caren, there's nothing more interesting, I find, than a scarecrow with crows lined up along his arms.

I think it is lovely to see and funny too.

"The way of the straw..." Good line, Caren. If the crows are his friends, I hope they don't take their dumps while perched on him. That would make for nasty surroundings.

The crows take advantage….of the scarecrow’s friendship ;)

They always do - reminds me of the students when they see how SOFT some of us are.
