Featured in this showcase garden is a half ski pole fence support and a single fake tulip. There is also a stick of bamboo being used as a fence support as well, and a seashell for decoration. The fence that required all this elaborate support is one of these cheap-o plastic things that's 12" high and (I thought) you just stick into the ground. Now at what point do you say to yourself: This plastic decorative fencing is just not staying up! Rather then removing it and re-sticking it into the ground, I will saw a ski pole in half, and rig up this support system. That will look nice!
I mean the whole point of the fence is decorative, right? To create a picturesque enclosure for your seashell and fake tulip. So doesn't the ski pole take away from the decorative aspect? If you have to jerry-rig your decorations, are they still decorative? I mean... never mind, I don't think logic is going to work on this one.climate: sunny, hight 20'sshoes: brown flats (I know, time to mix it up already.

In order from left to right: jar of organic peanut butter, plastic soap dish, plastic ice cube tray (2, stacked), an "equalizer" ("to increase room comfort year around"), a bag of whole foods brand pita chips, a "first alert" motion sensor switch, another bag of pita chips, and a miscellaneous electric device that could possibly be another equalizer (which would be nice for symmetry's sake.)I'm not really wondering why these particular items are here as much as I am wondering what the hell is an "equalizer"?! Is it different than a fan or a heater? And who wrote the subtitle to increase room comfort year around? It sounds like a bad translation if I've ever heard one. I suspect that this product was purchased either from SkyMall or a late night infomercial. Probably the latter.

Noticed this house tucked behind and between two street front houses. The front door is open, so I had to take my picture and escape quickly for fear of being caught. I wonder what the resale value is on something that ... um... unique?This inexplicably makes me angry. I imagine the homeowner to be an annoying yuppie-hippie (yippie) that thinks they're "crazy" and "creative", but in a "fun" way. They probably wear lots of bright colors and belong to that purple hat club for old ladies, which also makes me inexplicably angry. This is too much upset for a Friday. I should probably just start drinking now.climate: sunny, low 40'sshoes: burgundy sneaksipod: the figgs
This is one of the scariest looking trees I've ever seen. I'm no advocate of senseless tree removal, but I would be all for putting this thing out of its misery. If you double click the picture you can see that its covered with tumor like bumps and the only branches left are at the very top. Hard to tell if it gets any leaves, but even with spring green all over it, I think that this tree could star in any horror flick.climate: sunny, mid 40'sshoes: black kitten heelsipod: franz ferdinand
Check out this tiny camel scene someone had carefully glued to the flower pot on their porch. Those tiny camels really are tiny- the height of a quarter. Maybe the person who lives here is one of these people that get really into making tiny miniature things. Or maybe they just had way too many camel decorations left over from an Arabian Nights party they hosted. I don't think I'll ever know.climate: raining, mid 40'sshoes: leaky rain boots (they still keep my feet dryer than sneakers)ipod: you know I can't handle an ipod and an umbrella
Its crazy amounts of warm out right now, and I really wasn't expecting to be hit with such tropical breezes when I left my house this morning! Spring has to be on the way, so here's a spring green house to help greet the season. Unless this family has a 3 year old decorator, there is no excuse for the offensive use of primary colors here.shoes: black flatsclimate: sunny, high 50'sipod: the staple singers
Looks like someone gets the Martha Stewart magazine. Featured here is the trifecta of house decorations: the sun bleached branch, the glittered fruit, and the basket of seashells. Well done, neighbor, good form!climate: sunny, high 30'sshoes: brown flatsipod: modest mouse
