It may be difficult to tell, but that is either squash or pumpkins growing at the END OF THE DRIVEWAY. Which is just an invitation to deer and teenage delinquents.
While I'd never suggest anyone needs to have professional landscaping, I think that anyone who piles up two mounds of rocks for decoration could use a little help in that department.
Anyone remember our friends Mary and Cowboy Joe from last Spring? Ricky Raccoon was added to the mix, along with a metal pup.
Same yard as previous picture: Smoky the Bear and Friends are protecting the yard from stray arsonists, but only in the Summertime.
There is a lady who lives a couple blocks from us who turned her entire front yard into a garden. So that, when you go to her house, you're walking up among the squashes and tomatoes.
ReplyDeletePart of me admires the very practicality of it; another part wonders if that's really the 'face' she wants to present to the neighborhood. . .
But then, our neighborhood is much more 'urban' than 'suburban', so no particular big deal. . .
There's a house near me with owners who built a maze of brick and such around their trees and through their yard, and then heaped those created spaces with pea rock. It's the ugliest thing ever, but I imagine the husband inside laughing at all the neighbors who have to mow each week.
ReplyDeleteMy kdis and I were just discussing what might have gone through our neighbor's mind when they made the decision to purchase a cement pineapple on a pedestal.
ReplyDeleteI am currently sans crazy yard neighbors but, having typed that, I have doomed myself.
ReplyDeleteDes - Does she share her harvest with you?
ReplyDeleteFadkog - Time for some photos on your blog!
Agent - Isn't the pineapple a symbol of hospitality in the south?
Laggin - Let us know!
LOLOL!!
ReplyDeleteI swear, Cocotte, you have some of the whackiest n'bors!
... and what a lame attempt at a rock garden. THAT one is hilarious!
