Meet LG

Meet LG, short for Little Green SLOW! Man. He's been residing in our front yard for about a month now.

See, we live in a neighborhood that's supposed to be family-friendly. In other words, the speed limit in our neighborhood is 15 miles an hour, for the very reason that kids are supposed to feel safe playing in their front yards. But we have a few neighbors who believe they're "above the law," and who don't have any problems informing you of their superiority, so when Mr. Honey and I saw LG in the store last month, marked down to $5 (can you believe it! what a bargain!), we picked him up by his handle and proceeded to the checkout lane.

A friendly neighbor made him hip by putting his cap on backwards, and we filled him with water to keep him from blowing over in the wind. But Saturday, LG had a bit of a problem. Somebody stole his flag.

When we got LG, he had a nice orange triangular flag, just in case the neon green wasn't enough to get somebody's attention. And Saturday afternoon while we were out, his flag mysteriously vanished out of thin air. As you can see in the picture, there's LG, but his flag is nowhere to be seen.

Miraculously, the flag reappeared Monday night. And we're glad he's got his flag back. He seems complete again.

LG has become part of the Honey family. He makes me smile everytime I turn my corner and see him standing there in my barren flower bed. Hopefully when little Honeybuns come along, he'll still be there, watching over us all.
