It was a decidedly autumnal week, starting with a scarecrow festival and peppered with delights to boost.

We had a wonderful time in Mahone Bay today for their Scarecrow Festival. We saw so many scarecrows, explored the fairy trail, and I met up with my old friend Merlin and their kid. For now I want to share some of the scarecrow highlights.

A sea witch scarecrow stands by a giant sea star.
A pirate woman scarecrow stands at the wheel of a boat.
A pale woman scarecrow holds flowers and has a sunflower in her hair.
A vampire scarecrow woman bares her fangs and wears a pink dress.

Here are 4 more scarecrows from the festival.

The Cybertronic Spree’s version of “Run With Us” is so fantastic.

My niece was pushing another kid on a playground swing yesterday and her finger got caught in the bare chain of the swing. She fully lost the tip of her finger and won’t know if she can keep part of her finger until a consultation with plastic surgeons next week.

I feel so awful about the pain she is in now and the trauma and anxiety she will carry forward.

We got a pumpkin in Mahone Bay at a fundraiser for the Mahone Bay United football/soccer club. Celestine gave it a face with her pencil yesterday.

I got an R36S to consolidate some of my games emulation. I grew up with the Game Boy, so the form factor is ideal for me and it’s great value for a capable emulation machine.

To start, I want to finally finish Xenogears, give Glory Hunters a proper play through, and revisit some Kirby Game Boy games with fan colourizations. (1) (2)
