Re: What is the strangest thing you've seen in someones yard?

A barbershop pole, old Texaco and F.W. Woolworth signs, a street sign from another neighborhood, to name a few. These are in the front yard. I can only imagine what these folks have in their basement, lol.

Re: What is the strangest thing you've seen in someones yard?

Many years ago I drove by a home out in the middle of nowhere that had toilet seats hanging from their fence. Different types but all were seats from toilets. The fence was practically covered with them.

Re: What is the strangest thing you've seen in someones yard?

Arlington, VA (I live about 4 miles away in the next county)  -- a homeowner had an 18 foot tall mermaid statue with an immense chest and long outstretched arms -- carved from a tree -- in his front yard.  Caused car accidents, neighborhood protests, and several silly newspaper articles.  He tried to sell it on Craigslist a few years back, no takers.  She didn't age well; bugs took their toll.  Last year she was cut down.

Some type of ceramic figurines about 2 - 3 feet talk of varius African wildlife.....lions, cheetahs, tigers, etc.  There must be 20 - 25 scattered throughout the front yard.

A decorative outhouse in the front yard.

That reminds me of fences I've seen covered with old jello molds -- kind of cool looking actually.

Re: What is the strangest thing you've seen in someones yard?

When I turned 40, I woke up and found 40 bras all over my front yard - in the bushes and hanging from the trees.  There was a big sign out there that said, "Happy Birthday.  We Support You"

 

I laughed so hard.

Ha!  The words 'decorative' and 'outhouse' really don't seem to go together in my mind.  Smiley Happy
