Photos: A peacock and a cat made of straw

By Howard B. Owens

If you've driven down West Main Street Road, Town of Batavia, recently you might have seen this peacock off the side of the road.

It's the creation of Mike Cleveland, town justice. He's started decorating his yard for fall. The idea was inspired by a trip he and his wife made to Maine last year where they saw several yards creatively decorated using bales of straw. He said that since farmers are often willing to loan out straw, he's hoping other residents will catch onto the idea.
