yesterday my neighbors (the sweet, strange boys that they are) built a "scare rat" in their front yard, accompanied by three evergreen trees dressed in ponchos and sombreros. this makes (at least some) sense if you have seen the sign hanging in front of the house which gives their abode the moniker "rat manor," which has been the source of much curiosity among passersby, who wonder whether it is a store, a haunted house, or simply a place were rodents run free.to further people's confusion, a couple of the guys decided to put an "OPEN" sign at the base of their walkway and at the corner of butler st. a couple of weekends ago while they (and i) watched from the roof as people walked by and stared with puzzled looks on their faces. only a few ventured up the steps to read the list of services available... the ones i remember are "kisses/hugs, legal advice, manicures, nature walks, gold digging, tax preparation, carnival games... (i wish i could think of more, they were pretty hilarious), each for $5.
now one of the mexican trees has turned into a PILOTbush... who knows what will be next :)
