A couple of times recently I have had occasion to give people directions to our house. It is actually pretty simple, especially since Wisconsin law demands that a highly visible sign by the drive display the address for the sake of the fire department and other emergency services.I usually also tell people to just keep an eye out for the house with the flamingos in the front yard. Of course, people usually assume that means a couple in the flower bed, but as you regular readers know, we have two large groups [flocks?] -- one near the entrance (pictured above) and another on the opposite side of the drive and closer to the house. Altogether there are thirty-something.
Mostly people just nod, but a friend from up on Christmas Mountain looked at me quizzically and asked, "Why?"
He hasn't even seen them yet. I can hardly wait until he comes by this week.

Flock of falmngos? I think it should be something better than that -- maybe a flush of flamingos.
