My Town Monday {gardens}
When I go to work/school from my Mama and Daddy's house, or when I leave work and go to my Mama's, this house is on the way. Right across from the school there is a large section of {projects} or low income gov't housing, and they have been there for a long time. One might even call it an established neighborhood, if these ever went up for sale. They are well-maintained, and really don't look bad. One little lady in this neighborhood takes her yard work very seriously, as you can see!
She has so many plastic flowers out there--it looks like a fairy wonderland!!
When I pulled up to take these pictures the girls were in the backseat oooohing and aaaahing and telling how beautiful it was, and then the neighbor came out and told me--"oh yes, that is Ms. Sarah's yard, she really takes that work seriously, she loves her yard, and works so hard in it...if only she could get some grass to grow!" :)--this made me smile all over.
See the little fences, and the white, plastic geese? Her lot is a corner lot--so she lots of room to work...
and she takes it all!
We talked a bit more about the grass, and the reason it won't grow is b/c of all of those giant trees! yay trees! I bet Ms. Sara appreciates that shade too, lest her plastic flowers fade too fast, and have to be replaced constantly.
As I drove away I was just picturing a little old lady at the dollar general, and the dollar tree picking through the plastic flowers admiring them, and planning where to put them in her yard!
Isn't it beautiful!

This is just adorable. :) I know right where you're talking about, and she is working it out with all of that. Adding some cheer! And kids have no qualms about loving {fake} flowers... we have 1 house nearby that puts them in2nd story windowboxes, and my kids think they are fab!
