    Thanks for taking care of my flowers while I’m out of town. You’ll find the hose in the backyard and a stepladder in the garage. See you in August!

  • GuinnessPhish

    They’re always after me lucky charms! ….but they’ll never find them in all this shrubbery!

    a staunch supporter of w, mr. clark freely showed his love of bush, and was proud to do it!

    Due to the high cost of gasoline, 4th of July parade goers were asked to line up and march by the Columbia Heights float.

  • Kalia

    While it is safe to say our Mitchell has several great qualities like his green thumb, modestly is not one of them.

    Herb’s got my vote.

  • Parkwood Person

    Top three Herb, Odentex and Bogfrog, in no particular order. Nice work! Such creative minds here :)

    I think the captions are clever, but I wanted to let others know that behind the somewhat kooky appearance of all of these containers is a sentimental story. The owner of this home created this makeshift garden for his (now deceased) wife who was suffering from cancer to brighten her days. He’s a lovely man.

  • Odentex

    Oh no. I haven’t felt this bad since I set my “slow” cousin Grady’s shoelaces aflame just before the three legg-ed race at the family reunion — never saw the little bugger move so fast before or since.

    I might point out that my comment was meant to express the refreshing directness of Petworthians vs. those snotty, tennis-sweater wearing fops over in Georgetown, and not necessarily suggestin’ any actual insanity (batshit or otherwise) to the saintly widower — who is probably kind to small animals and feeds homeless lepers too.

    That being said, heartwarming story aside, I bet there are at least a few stone-hearted neighbors that wish his industrious and impressive tribute might have been more… erm… indoors. Perhaps ceramic plates depicting the apostles?

  • EM

    Odentex, no worries, I really liked your caption. I just thought I’d fill folks in.

  • Anonymous
