Déjà Vu?

Commenter JanF mentioned that the painted rocks reminded her, when she first became a reader of this blog, that I was going around hanging Christmas ornaments in random places.

Like this one in a Walmart parking lot.


This one on a bush in the market parking lot.


And this one at an out-of-the area Shopping Plaza.


This idea of “Random Acts of Christmas Cheer” came from Kathy, over at Second Half of My Life.

The photos Kathy posted on her blog  of Christmas ornaments hanging in random places, made me smile so, deciding to make someone else smile, I’d joined in on her Cheer Project.

That was way back in December of 2015.

These painted rocks aren’t quite Déjà Vu — it’s not my random act of cheer, it’s someone else’s, but close enough.

This rock, located near one of the Laundry Rooms, has me stumped. 

Looking at it the way it was placed, it appears to be a face, but then there’s an odd protrusion on the right side.


Rotating the image in Photo, it appears to be a bottle.


Your guess is as good as mine, but the flesh tone does seem to lean towards a face.

Could be nothing behind the impetus of the next two but, because the theme seems to be behavior, I wonder if there's something going on in the quad where this artist lives.





And I'd be careful about promoting love between neighbors. One lovely lady moved out rather quickly, because her next door neighbor kept trying to "love" her. 

He kept trying to gift her, feed her, so kept trying to intrude on her life that she began hiding. Telling me she parked her car on the opposite side of the complex and snuck into her unit, so he'd not know she was home.

Finally, she solved the issue by moving out.

I occasionally still see him around, but he doesn't speak, is not at all friendly and looks angry.

Maybe he's upset the lovely lady escaped his grip. LOL.

  1. So glad you shared this. The ornaments were before my time. That was such a cute idea. I'm going to share it with a couple of friends.

    1. Please do share. After what we've all been through, last few years, it would be lovely to see Kathy's Random Acts of Christmas Cheer catch on and brought back.

  2. I like the idea of hanging ornaments in different places. It would make me smile to see that.

    I have no idea what's on that rock.

    It's kinda sad that the woman had to move out just to get away from that guy. Dang, no means no.

    1. Some guys never learn. Can't even imagine a woman would rather be on her own than spend time with him.

  3. Thanks for reminding me about my project. It's funny how we bloggers inspire each other-I borrowed the idea from someone else.

  4. The yellow rock reminds me a little of Senor Wences' hand puppet from the old, very old, Ed Sullivan show. If you search google images for "senor wences hands" you can see what I mean.

    1. Now that you mention it, it does look like Senor Wenches, LOL, and now I'm remembering watching that act. Good guess, but I'll have to catch up with the ladies, find out which one drew it, what it's supposed to be.

  5. I think I just figured out how to get rid of 40 boxes of Christmas ornaments. Thanks. (I'm going to take them to Kathy's house.)

    1. LOL. Somehow I don't think she'd appreciate that many.

    2. I've got six months to figure out where you live. If you find an ornament at your front door, get ready for more. :)

    3. It's "random" acts of cheer, Mike, not "targeted" :-)
