Daisy Mae can't go to school.

At least not without her missing backpack, so Daisy, a 400-pound concrete yard cow, is dropping out of school, said Nancy Martz, co-owner of the black-and-white cow gracing the yard of her Greensburg home.

I guess she will have to be homeschooled along with the pink flamingoes.

Some folks just need a hobby.............

I never dressed up my cows but I do put fingernail polish on the hooves.

This one survived a snowstorm.

except for the stolen stuff part, this is a 'big smile' story.
thanks, wg ...

[Willie Green]

this is a 'big smile' story.

You're more than welcome.
IMHO, we need 'big smile' stories now and then.
It is rather sad about the stolen items,
but heartwarming to read of a wonderful couples' slightly eccentric hobby
of bringing a little light-hearted joy to their neighbors and community.

standard disclaimer:
wife has two flamingos, less wire legs, planted on a piece of driftwood in the front flower bed ...

had one of these awhile too, but it was the victim of a drive-by flamingocide ...

I'm partial to lawn balls myself.

[tomkat]

if you shake it, does it snow ??

those things are a hoot ...

"So much good has come out of that cow since we started doing it," she said. "It's brought so much attention and happiness to the neighborhood."

That's what she thinks. How are the neighbors' property values holding up, I wonder. Has it been tipped yet?
