Lawn Ornaments In My Neighborhood

Lawn ornaments are the perfect addition outside your home to add whimsy and interest to your garden.  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 neighbourhood has a lot of lawn ornaments.  My neighbour is very religious and believes in angels.  She has an angel-themed birdbath in her front garden.

The neighbour on the other side of the street from me has an unusual 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 neighbourhood, the lawn ornaments run on the unusual side.  The strangest one I’ve seen is a metal chicken in the garden 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 neighbourhood.  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 favourite lawn ornaments are the classic pink flamingos from the 1950’s.  I know that they are a symbol of 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.

There is a very quiet family down the street from me that practice Buddhism.  They have several lawn ornaments of Buddha in their garden.  They’ve created a lovely meditation area on the side of their house and have let everyone on the street 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.
