My SIL had their lawn "flocked" for his birthday. Apparently, Clearwater, FL (and maybe other towns) has a company who will put the appropriate number of plastic flamingos on your lawn during the night and then pick them up a day later.

Lisa, the central valley of CA seems to be very hospitable to peacocks but they can be mighty loud as neighbors.

Yup there is a bay area company that will to flockings. Or herds if you prefer cows.....

Lee & I thought we saw the flamingo a couple of times over the past month, in the same cove where we saw him the first time, but at a distance so we weren't positive.

Well, we were riding along the Coyote Hills again this morning, and we stopped at the overlook to that cove to pull off our armwarmers, and there he was ! He was close enough that there was no mistaking it.

I was wondering how he was doing during our recent cold snap, or whether he hitched a ride south, but he seems fine, and still as pink as all get-out.

And to top it off, there were witnesses, which proves he's not a figment of our imagination.

Since he's apparently a fixture, he deserves a name.

I shall call him Seymour.

Wow how very cool. I think a Flamingo sighting (or sightings should I say) might be hard to top.

Pics! Or we shall just consider you a loaded bob until them.

Write a letter to your newspaper. Tell them the name. Maybe we'll get some news footage up here ala Humphrey the Whale.

But I am a loaded bob ...

I'll see what I can do. Obviously you guys ain't gonna believe me till then.
