My mom has this thing where she likes to drive around neighborhoods where we can’t afford to live. So on her first visit to Salem recently we meandered through a gorgeous neighborhood in South Salem where everybody trims their azalea bushes and everyone paints their trim.
And then we stumbled on this gorgeous beast.
He was the project of a local fourth grade classroom. The teacher, who upon retirement, discovered that this giraffe (named Manuel by the kids) could not fit in her house. So simply gave Manuel a home on the Serengheti of her porch.
That’s the classiest yard ornament I’ve ever seen.
