Lawn Ornaments In My Neighborhood

Lawn ornaments are the perfect addition outside your home to add whimsy and interest to your yard. You should consider that there are a lot of options for lawn ornaments and keep looking until you find just the right reflection of your personality.

My neighborhood has a lot of lawn ornaments. My neighbor is very religious and believes in angels. She has an angel-themed birdbath in her front yard.

The neighbor on the other side of the street from me has a wacky metal bird and several other odd lawn ornaments. She is an interesting lady and her lawn ornaments reflect that.

I would venture to say that in my neighborhood, the lawn ornaments run about half wacky. The wackiest one I’ve seen is a metal chicken in the yard of the corner house on my street.

Three streets away from me is one of the most unusual lawn ornaments. It is also my



daughter’s favorite of all the lawn ornaments in our neighborhood. The people living in that house have a blue peacock made entirely of metal with a springy fan tail. It truly is a sight to behold.

I do believe that my favorite lawn ornaments are the classic pink flamingos from the 1950’s. I know that they are a symbol of American consumerism at its very worst, but I just don’t care. The creator of the pink lawn flamingos was awarded an Ig Nobel Prize in 1996.

My stepson is pretty sure that he wants to buy and set up Christmas lawn ornaments this year. I am dreading it a little bit. I know that his enthusiasm is going to outlast mine and I want to make him happy. I think that we are going to have to sit down together and plan the way it will look and how many man hours the lawn ornaments will take.

There is a very quiet family down the street from me that practice Buddhism. They have several lawn ornaments of Buddha in their side yard. They’ve created a lovely meditation area on the side of their house and have let everyone on the block know that it is available to anyone at any time for use meditating. I thought that it was very sweet and community minded to do that.
