IT DOESN'T GET MUCH WORSE THAN THIS

Yesterday we were walking to a nearby neighborhood event and took a new route . The street was lined with beautiful homes but the frontyards were beyond belief. My mouth was hanging open for a few blocks.

For the life of me I couldn't even begin to imagine why a homeowner in a nice neighborhood doesn't give a thought to how their public face looks.

I didn't have my digital camera with me so I used my cell phone. I was surprised that the photos came out as well as they did.

An apparent need to obliterate the house ?

A house hugger

This is not Iowa people !

Fake flowers among the real . Who are you kidding?

This frontyard was the worse I've ever seen. It was packed to the gills with everything imaginable. There was even a kitchen sink. Oh, and a big fat fake snake dangling from a tree !

I'd like to be the garden czar for this new administration. I'd issue tickets to homeowners with bad landscapes and make so much revenue we wouldn't need a bailout. Honestly, if bad taste were a crime, the homeowners on this block would be wanted in every state in the U.S. of A!
