This is so awesome, I wasn’t sure whether to put it in the Inspiration or WTF? category. What do you think the story is here? Impossible-to-resist price cuts at the Discount Landscaping Depot? Commemorative animal statuary for deceased family pets? Did they start with the fountain, then, labelled as statuary lovers, fall prey to tragically misguided gift giving? Or my favourite possible explanation: a donkey, a rabbit, a chicken and a lion were hanging out at the local watering hole, when suddenly, a magical mermaid appeared, turning them all into stone. Or at least white-washed cast concrete.
Oh, man that’s funny! I liked your last explanation the very best. I can’t pretend to know what’s going on here. I can only say that it’s good we have photo evidence of this creepy display. Things of this nature should not go undocumented!
It looks like there’s a space for a plaque that has been removed or never placed. Super creepy!

Fiddlehead – thanks :) I do my best to cover phenomenon like this!
Karen – Oooh! I never noticed that before, but you’re right! Crazy.
You ARE a new parent, aren’t you. I know what’s going on – they have KIDS. I let my kid pick some small pieces at the garden store a couple of years ago – now we have cavorting kittens – truly HIDEOUS cavorting kittens – in the veg garden.
Just you wait. :P
oh, wow. that’s hilarious. i just emailed that to a bunch of my friends/family members. and comment #4, verrry funny. and true. too true.
Patti – Oh crap. I’m in trouble!
Tifanie – glad I could amuse :)
