Ohio Lawn Art

I love my children…some days more than others. This morning I was not lovin’ my 16 year old because he was soooo sloooow getting up and out the door…. and he missed the bus…and I had to drive him to school. School is in a town outside of ours, so once again I was outbound bound, camera in hand.

For some people in Ohio, lawns are more than something to be mowed: they are art installations. Nothing says “patriot” to me better than a sawmill blade painted like the American (And Proud Of It) Flag. As I stopped to snap the picture, I realized that this lawn is like the last page in Highlights magazine…remember? Can you find the following items hidden in this picture? ( note: click on the image to enlarge it…if you dare!)

birdfeeders, pots, flags, a random wagon, a windmill, whiskey barrels, (the ubiquitous) pink plastic flamingos,illuminated glass blocks, ceramic doo-dads (for lack of a better term)

Out of view of the camera are the cement (pronounced see-ment ) lawn geese that have costumes that match the season (one down the road from here has a goose with a gun, cuz it’s goose hunting season now I guess).

I am almost certain there is nothing quite like this on the outbound journey in ‘Frisco… but I perhaps I may be pleasantly surprised.
