No wonder one of my affiliate "onthecheap" sites - Madison on the Cheap - has a Flamingo on its site! Mal

I can't handle those pink flamingos! They look absurd in the desert! However, my sister lives an hour from Madison and now I know what I shall get her for Christmas! lol

In this way I'm very conservative; I go in for pink plastic gnomes.

The Wisconsin "state bird" isn't the curly crested Cheese Doodle?
Naut,
The "Wisconsin State Garden Gnome bird?" The one who speaks with a heavy English accent? Sounds about right to me! They are attatched to Michigan's upper peninsula, and I think that one should need a passport, to visit there, too.

Nautikos
I really can't say I am so fond of either of them. But it is not my state. I will stay out of that.

I believe Wisconsin used to have as its official bird.....
The "Mileormore Crow". It was named so, because it was the only bird that flew backwards. Because of this, the wind whistled up it buyy, and you coulf hear it coming towards you from......."a miles or more" away.....

If this motion pass (with the garden dwarf), I will have to contact the FLNJ (Front de Libération des Nains de Jardin, the movement to free garden dwarves) in France! That's serious business! LOL

I love those tacky pink flamingoes. Gnomes, too.
But it would be the most fun of all to put a fat jolly Buddha in the landscaping in front of my porch, since I'm directly opposite St. Someone's. However, Sister Ann has been a good neighbor, so I opted for a sunflower instead.
