Every neighborhood has to have one, dont they? We got new neighbors (two doors down) a couple of months ago. We now just refer to them as The Clampetts.Our neighborhood is pretty low key. Typical middle-class residential layout. Its quiet, and the yards/lawns are kept nice with landscaping and flowers. But like I said, every neighborhood has to have that One.
Hmm, we noticed a new addition. The three pieces of white paper, hanging in the window of the porch. Not even original signs, but photocopies. We're not sure who they are for, but its fun trying to figure out their intended purpose: 1) to serve as a warning to the established neighbors; 2) to serve as a disclaimer of insurance, should you get caught trespassing; 3) nothing more than a xerox copy of a gun barrel in lieu of a welcome mat. A view through my binoculars, verified that one of the signs is just a simple posting of an attack cat. Whew, what a relief! - since the lady who lives here told me her outdoor cat "knew better than to leave the yard" when I told her of my woes of cats coming to "visit" our yard. (see Post of Sept 8th)
While we were walking the dog one night, right after they moved in, we noticed one of those papers taped to the front door! It was the one warning trespassers they would be shot, along with the gun barrel graphic. I think the rest of the general yard decor probably speaks of their taste. It wouldnt surprise me to see the burro, the napping amigo, and the pig with straw hat someday adorning a "cement pond".
Maybe a privacy fence should be added to our Spring to-do list. But in the meantime, "Come and listen to a story..."
p.s. we are having the very high winds here, and Steve has yelled in the back door "we had a big limb blow out of the big maple tree in the back, just missing the bridge". Karma?

Now, that's special. I know you are just jealous. It's okay, I am, too.
