I like those plastic ones so much, I named a pole bean after them.

Lovely beans. They look worthy of the name. Your creation, Tormato?

I wonder why at least two of my neighbors have plastic deer in the yard when every day they have real deer in the yard.

You can't argue with a closed mind.
You might as well be arguing with a cat.

These flamingos are not mine. Someone in my neighborhood put these in their yard. Looks like the birds are practicing social distancing.
