Her house is on a hill with a natural tree area between it and the curb, and we were thinking she wouldn't see them until she left to go to work, after several of her neighbors had already driven by on their way to work, had seen them there and got a laugh out of it at her expense.<br />Well, turned out she liked 'em and put them in her flower bed up closer to her front porch, so our little joke on her turned out to be a joke on us. LOL<br />Me, I like yard trash and have many many birdhouses including one of a haunted house, a lighthouse and a couple of churches, along with an elves' village, a toad's house (though no toad has lived in it yet), several mushroom houses and even a miniature camper/trailer park set up in the yard. I also have many gnomes and animals - rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, a frog, a snail, a turtle and even a buffalo. There's also an arbor filled with solar lanterns that lights up the arbor at night along with a solar light up cross that glows in the garden at night. Bro Tom makes me put them all in natural areas though so he doesn't have to move them all when he mows the grass. I'm just glad he puts up with my child-like imagination.<br />God bless.<br />RB<br /><><RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053380234618898848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-30430899955132123342015-07-25T11:48:34.996-07:002015-07-25T11:48:34.996-07:00Liz, it's hard to find them around here anymor...Liz, it's hard to find them around here anymore.
