Walking home I saw this little guy:

Somebody made a Tinman!

He’s so cute, I wish his hat wasn’t covering his face. I’ll have to go back to get another picture. Can you believe that somebody came up with the idea and then did it?

He’s done so well!

Look at his little feet! His ears! The buttons on the front! He’s so adorable!

He reminds to pay attention on my walk home because it’s easy to miss so much and I’d be sad to have missed him (okay I wouldn’t have because I wouldn’t have known about him). He made me smile after a long day, after a walk home in overcast drizzle, with obnoxious drivers who don’t pay attention to pedestrians. In my funk I just wanted to get home and make a cup of tea. Then the Tinman made me smile, almost squeal. How delightful!

To whoever made him and put him out to share with the neighborhood….. THANK YOU!
