Lawn Ornaments III

Saw a new one last week. I am used to the black outline of the cowboy, no matter that it looks slightly out of place on the east coast. But it took me a while to realize that what I was looking at was a cowgirl. How PC.

Why doesn't someone come up with some regional outlines? In Maine they should have codgers with beards and oilskin caps and souwesters on their lawns...they should outline well. In Pennsylvania they could have Amish chaps with beards and flat hats. Regional authenticity for lawn ornaments!

The ultra-expensive Frontgate catalog, btw, is selling Murano glass balls for your front yard. Yes, you can wipe the eyes of your neighbors by putting this exquisite handblown ornament in your front yard. Positioned, no doubt, atop a pedestal of Carerra marble.
