Budda's Laugh.

Other things I've found while trying to put my garden in place...

Chess Pieces
2 strands Indoor Christmas lights
3 legged dog ornament
cell phone - Nokia
3 broken garden trowels and a garden fork
4 different types of tomato cages/stakes
Bop-It
2 bird feeders
2 foot tall Cross - Christian
1 leather glove
some other random stuff I can't remember...

all of these items were found thick in brush or buried.  Suffice to say when I went to tackle the overgrowth, I wasn't expecting to find a small thrift store in the weeds.

Thou Shall Go to Glacier.

The Flathead Valley is a Special place. I don't know many people who would deny that... in one form or another.

There are 33 miles between our front door and the enterence to Glacier National Park. The following pictures were taken along the first 25 miles of the route we drive to get there. It is not the signed route, it is a back way.

The following are photos of signs that contain The Ten Commandments.

1) Along a Golf Course.

2) Private Yard #1.

3) Chapel.
4) Private Garage.

5) Church Yard #1.

6) Private Yard #2

7) Church Building

8) Church Sign (almost doesn't count because it also has service times, etc, on it

9) Church Yard #2

Also on the Golf Course - there are two of these along the way, "Quotations" from "God", and there's another board with a quote from Ezekiel :) But they don't exactly count...

So, that's, like, one Ten Commandments per every three miles.

I guess my only issue is that none of the signs are large enough, or close enough to the road for a person to actually read the commandments. Everyone obviously knows what they are... they're a bit distinctive, with the traditional, Moses, two big tombstone-esque slabs, I'm not sure why anyone bothers with the words.
