You Don't Want To Get This Guy Angry

Yard Artists who choose that one special item to convey their relationship to the world provide a special challenge to the Life's Highway Field Reporter. Most reporters want the big finds and don't spend a lot of time capturing the small treasures. While playing the road game, the small finds comprise most of your scoring.

SusanH comments and submits:

Lifeshighway ~ a new way of life! I found a couple more things this weekend - even a lawn jockey that I'll submit another day.

Absolutely, I am changing the world, one reported yard at a time.


"Christmas...bah humbug"


OMG a solar Christmas Snowman! He glows in the dark. I think I would double the score for a night shot.


Score (list provided by SusanH, my comments are in red)
  • Rooster (failing miserably at hiding utility boxes) that is one pissed off cock: 1 point
  • 2 flying wizards (?) on sticks (one almost hidden behind the tree; better angle was not possible due to glaring resident) YOU TOO! everyone is getting brave: 2 points
  • Wind chime: Snow lady with baby/Snowflake/Star/Tree – looking kind of Christmas-like to me, but maybe just wintery. SusanH, what kind of negotiating is that! 1 point + 6 point holiday bonus
  • Lone June snowman (honestly, NOTHING else in this yard - pitiful) not pitiful for scoring: 1 point + 6 points holiday bonus SCORE!
Subtotal: 17 points

Creativity Bonus

For the great metal rooster who is sick and tired of looking at Christmas decorations: 2 points


Total: 19 points

Roosters may not like Christmas leftovers but we do

    1. Do you have X-ray vision? My laugh for the day! Thanks as always! I am going to play one day, but I have to REMEMBER the camera! That may take some doing!

    2. I only mean the x-ray vision comment in the nicest way!

    3. Not so sure about x-ray vision but I do have a few sets of eyes out in the field. You could be one!

    4. I know, I know! I'm going to surprise you some day soon! I really keep running off the road looking and I can't trust The Herbal Husband to stay on the road either! Ha!

    5. I feel compelled, once I've dented a mailbox and risked life and limb, to blow up the picture to be sure I'm seeing all the fine details. The glaring guy at this door was at least dressed... just the other day a beer bellied fellow yelled at me in just his underwear. I'm ashamed to say my camera froze and I missed capturing the moment.

    6. SusanH, I have started a new page dedicated the bravery I have been seeing in the field.

    7. That rooster has an agenda - note the phone/cable box right next to him. Either there's a conspiracy by our communications companies, or you could start a new category:

      Yard Art Concealing Utility Installations

    8. ChrisJ, not a bad idea. At my house I have random floating fence* in front of a utility box.

    9. I like your new Bravery in the Field page. I really didn't know what I was getting into out in the wild of Life's Highway. A certain cousin did not mention that when he got me hooked!
