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!

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.

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?

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