What is the strangest thing you have in your yard?

I have a gigantic bird bath leaf... a gift. It is strange but I like it. The birds don't. :)

Best answer!

The yard that now belongs to my first wife has a tombstone with my name on it. It also has the bottom half of a toilet with a sign that reads "Phil is Dirt". These appeared shortly after I left. You can guess what my real name is.

Did she re-marry?

@nomdeplume: The rumor was that she did remarry, but he maxed her credit cards, run off with her SUV and left her bankrupt. Our relationship has been so fractured I can not verify that they were actually married. I moved on ... she did not.

I am asking because Colleen mentioned a sink and toilet ... there is a yard across the street with a bathtub for flowers and another with black lab silhouettes around the fence... my birdbath seems a bit boring by comparison.

Please note, the sink and toilet are NOT in my yard. The toilet was on on my neighbor's front lawn but it had finally been remove which I'm happy about since it was what I saw when I looked out my front window. The sink at the other house is still there. I believe they think it's "decorative".

Cool. I have been collecting bird houses. Some came with the house and lived on an old tree... when a tree from next door (Walter) fell on my kiln shed it also took down the bird house tree... I saved the houses.

I found a 4 year old, claiming to be 9, and requesting a pair of my shoes and a bowl of biscuits. I gave her some biscuits and took her home. Other than that just the odd turtle, and occasional Koala.

My front lawn has 50% covered with vegetables and herbs. This wouldn't go well on the mainland but hey, we're in Hawaii. Contrary to its weirdness and the fact that I feared mainland people would feel offended, they often stop by to praise how nice my garden looks. Go figure.

One of those horrible looking, artificial, 2 1/2 ft high, round well-rocks that covers and protects the well head. It sits right by the front entry steps, right next to the driveway because our property is so steep the huge well truck couldn't access any other place on the property!

Can I spray paint graffiti on your rock?

commented 12 years ago

PEOPLELOVER

Pardon a old Aussies` ignorance, what is a well-rock and a well truck?
We sink wells to get water from the underground reserves but we don`t have a truck come and fill it up.
That is counterproductive, why sink the well in the first place?
Some places rely on rain water and in dry spells they have to buy water into their tanks but the well bit throws me.

commented 12 years ago

michmar118

Absolutely! It could only improve it's appearance!! It wouldn't stand out too much in the middle of the woods, do you think?? :->

commented 12 years ago

michmar118

Peoplelover, A well-truck comes on site and drills into the earth with a huge auger off the back of it until they hit water, in our case it was 350 ft before striking a well of water. The truck is large and cumbersome, thus not allowing it into areas rather inaccessible by a large truck. They lay the well-pump in the water itself, and lay the pipe and electrical wire to it down the shaft with hydraulics from the truck itself, so that water is pumped up into the home whenever the demand for water is needed. The well-head is on top of the ground where the well has been reamed and the ugly well-cover insulates and protects the electrical well head from freezing and the elements, from which pipe is laid, in our case to the crawlspace in the house to the pressure switch, which controls water flow into the water pipes inside the house. Is this very different from how you drill wells or receive your water?? Curious.......

I have just seen a new one. A house two blocks over cut down a very large tree in their front yard. They have taken to decorating this stump... sometimes rocks, sometimes children's creations and sometimes a cat sits on top... This stump takes on personalities for holiday occasions but today it has a gigantic marlin perched on top. Sweet!
