I love the idea of this, you just have to hope you don’t do it to anyone who really treasures their garden and who might not appreciate what it’s all about and call the police.

Our Daughter had my husband FLOCKED on Father’s Day! She went through the Humane Society for their
fundraising event. My daughter loves her Step-Dad so much.

He was so happy when he came home and saw all of the beautiful pink flamingos all over our yard! He wanted me to take pictures of him & his pink flamingos. Our neighbors were calling us, stopping by and taking pictures. Strangers were stopping and asking if they could take pictures. It was a GREAT FATHER’S DAY AND A MEMORY FOR A LIFETIME!

I feel sad for Lizzie. How can you NOT enjoy this???

You know, all you need to do is put a little note that if you do not want to play, just wait and the birds will go away in 24 hours. No one needs to throw the birds away or file charges. It’s for a fundraiser for crying out loud!

We got flocked! When I walked out of the house and saw them in my yard, I knew it would cost me something but it was just plain fun and I laughed out loud…all by myself. Went back inside and woke up the family to come see. Money was tight and I didn’t really have the extra $20, but it was for a great cause and I knew they would use the money wisely. I would caution folks to make sure they know the flocking “victim” well enough to know whether they would take offense and spoil the fun. Most people know who the “spoil-sports” are, so just avoid those people. This fundraiser also gave me an out if I couldn’t/wouldn’t participate and I could have just called someone to come and pick them up, no questions asked or offense taken. I feel sorry for Lizzie who can’t see that groups are just trying to make fundraising unique, creative and fun! Go flocks…go forth and conquer!

I am looking forward to flocking my Favorite Aunt this year. She has a great attitude in life and does so much for others. Knowing that this money goes to charitys makes this event more specail. People who write negative comments about this should just stay inside their homes. Life is too short to be mad about small stuff like this.

This morning was the third time in as many months that I have seen a “Flocked” lawn. And each time it has brought a smile to my face. This morning was a first; the business across the street was “Flocked” during the night. Now I am thinking about my favorite charity and friends with a sense of humor and a big heart who will also enjoy the smiles.

With the right people, especially supporters of whatever the money is being raised for, I can see where this would be a lot of fun.

But on the other hand, in these hard economic times, it can put unwanted pressure to give $20 which can be a lot when you may be cutting coupons to save 75 cents.

And appearances can be deceiving! One can live in a large house in a nice neighborhood, but have to watch pennies for any number of reasons these days.
