The Jailbird

Oh Peeps. I was minding my own business this morning when there was a knock at the door.
Yes, someone from the POA sent a warrant for the arrest of my precious Pumpkin Topiary Beachy.


.
She had not done ANYTHING wrong. She was just sitting pretty on the porch minding her own business.


We looked across the street and found the culprits!


Those EVIL JEALOUS BOOITCHES had turned her in!!

The Beachy Porch was devastated. Those ugly girls
were laughing.

NNNOOOOO! Beachy Mimi screamed. Don't take Pumpkin Topiary Beachy! You'll have to drag me, too!

Pumpkin Topiary cried, Beachy Mimi cried, but the bad guys showed no mercy.

In a precious show of solidarity, the rest of the porch followed as she was led away in handcuffs.
The tears were just pitiful.
But Topiary Beachy got her purse, necklace, earrings and tissue and was bravely led away...friends following.
Spider Beachy made one last valiant attempt to stop this injustice to no avail.
On they trudged, down the street.
It broke my heart to see such suffering.
It was a long long slow walk.
They finally came to their destination.
The parting was so painful but finally they were separated by the bars of jail.

My Precious Pumpkin Topiary Beachy. May you Rest In Peace. October 1, 2008-November 2, 2008 Gone Forever.

Only you, Beachy Mimi... only you.

Dawn said...

Oh, my, my, my...

What? Had the neighbors stopped talking? They sure will be now! Wish I could have been a fly on the wall as those "ladies" stood peeking from behind their drapes.

Is she really gone forever, or just until 2009?

Maybe I should go check on my scarecrow out on my front porch...

OK, now I feel bad that my pumpkin got fed to the deer at the stroke of midnight Friday. It was that or throw it at the last group of trick or treaters...

That was so funny! I bet you are the talk of the street. I can't wait to see what happens at Christmas! Those stinkin' neighbors.

Um, Okay, so if the neighbors thought you were crazy before, just IMAGINE what they're thinking now!

You are a hoot!

Well, I almost inhaled my Milk Dud straight into my lungs here. That is SO freakin' hilarious.

If times get tough here I am moving to your neighborhood!

You have lost your mind and made me laugh in the process.

Could PeepOne have been your sidekick?

Oooooooh, "Pumpkin Jail" is so bad. I hope they let sweet Miss Pumpkin keep her gorgeous earrings once they processed her. (You know they put things like that in a manilla envelope when you go to jail).
I hope you didn't scuff your elbows too bad while trying to save her.
Call me if you need bail money. I'll be there.

Susan said...

Hilarious! I can't believe you staged all of those pictures. I am sure you managed to receive at least a few "look at that crazy woman" looks. If only they knew the depths of your creativity!
