Yard Decorations

Don't see them any more.

I think the flamingo theme came from Florida long ago. Students used to secretly stick a bunch of them in someone's yard at night as a prank.

When a neighbor was having heart surgery, his boyfriend put a bunch of plastic flamingos in the front yard, all wearing white jackets and surgical masks and bending over one laying down on the ground with a sheet pulled up to its neck. It was pretty funny.

These jockey lawn ornaments are still popular in nearby Saratoga Springs where the horse racing culture is prevalent. There used to be many black-faced ones around, but have mostly disappeared or been re-painted because they were P.I.

Some people believe that George Washington commissioned the original hitching post statue "The Faithful Groomsman" to honor the memory of young Jocko Graves other people believe it is just a story. Some people also believe that the color of the jockey's shirt or pants was a signal to escaping slaves that the people living in the house were sympathetic to their cause and part of the underground railroad, again some people believe it is just an interesting bit of fiction.
