Googly Eyed Monster

[DeborahJane]

Enough to give you nightmates

Can anyone else see him? I'm hoping that when I go back down this morning in daylight he'll be gone, that is, it will just look like a normal tree to me.....instead of a horned, googleyeyed, confused thing lurking in my garden. Actually, he probably looks quite harmless....most likely trying to hide

 

[marlingardener]

Ahhh, he's just admiring the flowers and foliage. Even googlyeyed monsters have a soft spot for beautiful gardens!

 

[DeborahJane]

He is still there and he has feet.....several.
I even got up close.
I think you may be right marlingardener, just admiring the plants. i can't believe i haven't spied him before now. He must have been camouflaged as a tree, a Japanese Puton to be precise.

Well i see a genetically challenged wild boar with a big heart and a love for beauty, self-conscious but strong and i see a googly-eyed cyclops half hiding behind the wild boar for protection. They look like best chums to me and i think they have decided that they are safe here. I think they are garden guardians who feel like they have a home and a purpose and that people will not fear them here. I get the feeling that they have a sense of humor too and I think they are cute.

I can see it too Beverly . I like your vision, i was going to say imagination but that would be disrespectful to Wilbur the Wild Boar and and and maybe Cyril Cyclops? Any other suggestions

Good job I don't live near you, i'd be sneaking out there with my tin of luminous paint

I like the names of Wilbur and Cyril who are probably thinking "i wonder how she knew our names when we didn't even introduce ourselves...spooky, eh?"

@zigs when i was a guest here before signing up, i was reading through some of the posts in various forums to get a "feel" of the place. When i came across "zigs Naughty Moderator" i wondered what made zigs so naughty, little by little, i am beginning to get the idea. I also wondered about the name "zigs" and thought "maybe he "zigs" when everyone else "zags" now i think it is your name

Even worse on the other site

[Beverly]

[zigs]

Well, what happened to his "Z"?

Oh it is in Yorkshire how nice, but the name is misspelled, could you let them know?

 

[zigs]

He never had one

Will do Name means Beaver Field

He never had a "Z"???? What a shame.
Thanks for reminding me and yes i saw the crest what a dumb name to be stuck with, what a dumb crest, pretty town though). The meaning goes back farther and was originally derived from "beverage" or "to drink". Not exactly a beautiful, feminine name. I don't know why the parents couldn't have named me Rosalinda, or Sarah, or something with a prettier root word. Well, Iggy didn't get a "Z" and i guess i shouldn't complain. My sister, 4 years older, wanted to name me Roy Rogers, so maybe i should be grateful for the name i got...still, it will never be in a song or a poem.

Bill or George, anything but Sue

As long as you remember this garden is predominantly pinks and purples I'm sure iany decoration would be very tastefully done zigs

Can't see the stuff in the day, only glows green at night

Painted a Sheep's skull with it when I lived in Wales, that kept the locals out of the garden at night

 

[marlingardener]

Zigs, I'm so tempted! We recently got an Easter Island statue to put on a large stump in the front yard. Wouldn't he be handsome glowing greenly in the dark?

 

[zigs]

Cool

Stick a few of these in the hedges too
