Guarded By Lions - Easter Eggs and Bottle Poles

MorningGlory has a story to tell and I will score as we go along:


This house is right up the street from me; I’ve had my eye on it for a while now:

The entrance to the driveway is guarded by two lions.  They made no attempt to stop me. (2 points)

A friendly Dalmatian sits at the end of the drive.  He’s not much of a guard dog. (2 points)

The front door is decorated with an Easter egg wreath.  This picture doesn’t do it justice; it’s really rather pretty. (I LOVE the Easter Egg Wreath!!!!)

To the right of the door, a small dog keeps an eye on things.  A Christmas tree flanks the door. (6 points)

No front porch is complete without wind chimes and dangly things. (Words to live by - and no Southern house is complete without a seashell jangly thing: 2 points)

To keep things balanced, another dog guards another Christmas tree to the left of the door.  A fairy looks on approvingly. (good dodge MorningGlory but I am calling Angel - 1 point)

Again for balance, more wind chimes and dangly things adorn the left side of the porch. ( 3 points)

 A monstrous snail and a life-sized rabbit sit on the wall. ( 2 points)

A lonely blue gazing ball to the right of the front porch. ( 1 point)

The first of several garden areas in the front yard.  Left-to-right:
A fairy, three geese, three eggs (I hope the geese are not responsible for
the eggs – that would be painful), and a fairy.  I’m also thinking the chair
is non-functional and intended as yard art. (also a birdbath, I'll give you the chair: 7 points)

At the center of the yard, another garden is set up with an angel and a fairy.
Two rabbits guard more eggs; again, I hope they aren’t the producers (3 points)

The same garden boasts a fountain, a cherub, and a tri-color bottle-tree sapling. (I like the mini bottle tree - 5 points - I counted the fleur de lis)

Finally, at the far end, we have a frog, a rabbit, another cherub, and a lighthouse. (3 points)

As we move around to the side yard, we have a deer, an angel, and three more eggs. ( 1 point)

The eggs are watch over by a turtle.  He’s not fast, but I hear he’s ferocious. (looks like a mean one - 1 point)

A yellow bottle tree, and a Texas-star-on-a-stick.  We’re not even in Texas! (In Texas everything is covered in stars - amazing - first time I have seen a yellow bottle tree 2 points)

 Another deer on the other side of the house, looking toward the road.  (OK, MorningGlory this has gone on long enough, did you walk the entire grounds! - 1 point)

A resting deer watches over things in the shade of a dogwood tree. ( 1 point)

A blue bottle tree in front of the garage. (these are more like bottle towers - 1 point)

A metal farmer figurine rusts under an evergreen tree, lonely and forgotten. (and beheaded... 1 point)

Subtotal: 45 points

Creativity Bonus

I love the Egg Wreath although it is holiday related so I can't count it, the monochromatic bottle towers are interesting especially the yellow one: 2 points

Total: 47 points
