Lawn Ornaments
1 Jun
If you’re looking for a life-size gorilla lawn ornament, you can buy one in the parking lot of the Holiday Village Mall in Great Falls, Montana. Doug and I had a good laugh imagining putting it in our front yard, but I have to say that the large chicken would probably have shocked the neighborhood more than the gorilla.
It’s hard to say what the market demand is for lawn ornaments, but I do see plenty of shadow people (those black cutouts of a man smoking a pipe) sitting around town these days. I do wonder what comes over people who buy them. There must be more money to waste in this economy than I previously thought. When we enquired about a small bunny rabbit, we balked at the $35 price tag. I’m sure the chicken would also be worth its weight in recycled aluminum.
After some deliberation, we passed up a frog. It just wouldn’t go with our shadow person.
Oh, but the frogs are so cute!
Yeah, that’s what Doug said. Unfortunately, my pocketbook didn’t agree! Janelle
I drove by a large yard recently that had a pond. I thought it was a mini zoo because I saw turkeys, deer and tortoises and other animals. When I drove by the other way, I saw they hadn’t moved an inch. I realized they were all concrete! You have inspired me to take a photo of this cement menagerie. I’ll have to sneak up on ‘em!
I can’t wait to see the photo! Janelle
