Pimp My Lawn... - 1/28/2012 6:30:39 PM

Status: offline 		As some of the posters here know, Firm and I recently moved back to our property in Kentucky.  We are in the process of planning a rebuild of our home and complete overhaul of our lawn, and I've been keeping my eye out for interesting ideas.  We currently have two acres (with hopefully 10 - 20 more if we can get a farmer or two to give up some land) and our intention is to create a lovely setting for our new home and a harmonious environment for our eventual retirement.

While out for a drive this afternoon, Firm and I got into a discussion about lawn ornamentation which led me to begin reminiscing about all the "classics" that some little old ladies have a tendency to cram into their front and back yards.  I thought it might be fun to see how many we could name... bonus points for a picture.

Of course, the all time "classic" lawn ornament is the pink flamingo.  What well heeled retiree doesn't have one?  



Damn.  Sorry... the photo upload didn't work

Here is one that would definitely make a statement though.

In Louisiana, it's mandatory that you have three.
One in purple, one in green, and one in gold.
