Who owns Lawn Flamingoes? If you do, are they in the garage, or...
on the lawn?

I have 2 neighbors w/them...and 30 years ago, I had a small flock...:hide:

3. Tulip trees are beautiful indeed.Some of the other trees I am partial to:
Japanese Maples, Willows, Rose Trees, Dogwoods, Birches; and for practical purposes, any type of fruit tree, (edible of course)...:)

5. Are you watching the Travel Channel?
There is a show on right now about lawn ornaments. They are profiling a woman who has 400 gnomes in her yard.

8. No...but interestingly, I took a walk through the neighborhood and saw
some...:)

Gnomes are strange, as are the flamingoes really, and there are a few of them here as well. I can't imagine 300 of them on a lawn....:D

300 years ago, the populace would be calling for her to be burned at the stake!!!!

6. My dad had a friend who used to line them up on our lawn...
usually while we were on vacation or something like that. We'd be driving up our long driveway and there would be a row of pink flamingos. Sometimes plastic, sometimes the blow-up vinyl kind... we got rid of all of them, but I really miss coming home to that sometimes!

9. There was a story of two brothers that always played jokes on
each other, and one gave the other a Pet Rock on his birthday. Not to be outdone, the recipient had a truck load of gravel dumped on his brother's lawn nine months later w/a big sign that said..."She was pregnant, YOU take care of the kids"...:D

We do a tiki-themed "Night of the Surfing Dead" decor on our front lawn.

11. I have an 8-ft. tall flamingo made out of wrought iron.
Hubby bought it years ago; we repainted it shockingly pink once, but now it sadly stands behind a plum delight that totally obscures it.
