The owner of the last garden is constructing a bear's head to secure to the top of a long pole outside on the sidewalk where he currently has a lollipop!

I agree with you Lee. You did an outstanding job of presenting the whole tour Sandi. There were many photos though that I just sat there shaking my head in wonder. And to think, you lived it! Hilarious!

There were way more on the tour, we just got tired and were ready for Happy Hour.
Can you imagine living next to some of those? One proud owner said when his neighbor sold her house, she came over and told him the new neighbor was a little ole lady who might not appreciate his antics. So the day the new neighbor moved in, the guy turned all the doll heads toward her house to "greet" her. Next day a 6 ft fence went up on that side.... What a surprise!

Turning the doll heads her way would have done it for me I think. LOL!
I can't imagine going through all of that...you and Smockette must have really been sick that day! LOL! Got to admit I was intrigued and can't believe I looked at all of them....as you said time I will never get back. LOL! Sticking tongue out
One thought I had while looking at the "secret garden" and the rest of that yard with the heads.....How the local kids probably view the house and garden as haunted and dare each other to go in there at night! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing
