Inspired from on high

Each one of these lawn ornaments is made from various tree trunks and limbs. They all are on display in the same yard. The red and white “elephant” proudly displays the owners’ house number.

An article in our local newspaper several years back said the artist claimed he received these images in multiple dreams from God and was told to make them over a period of years. (He also may have had too many dill pickles and onions before he went to bed on those nights.)

While they are no longer in their fresh-painted glory, they still are quite an eye catcher if you’re not a local.
