Bayard

So, there's a woman down the road from us with a 12 ft tall plastic skeleton in her front yard [View all]

I understood it being there for Halloween, complete with black robe and scythe. For Thanksgiving, he transitioned to a Pilgrim hat. By xmas, he was wearing a Santa hat and pants. Apparently just taking off the hat, and keeping the red pants, made him in style for Valentines Day.

I drove past there yesterday, and he is carrying a basket of eggs. When will this madness end? No--don't ask. I am afraid to stop and take pictures.
