Ummm....what about lawn trolls? I mean, they can be interpreted as scary, but we were under the impression that they were accepted as year-round decor. And some ARE smiling.....

And we are quite sure the plastic pink flamingos are safe, but I guess laws can change quietly, and the unaware lawn decorator could find themselves in big trouble. It would be terrible to wake up one morning and see only grass! Just nature and growing things, no bright red and pink and yellow plastic! Our beloved family heirlooms confiscated! Good god, we'd better check up on this, and fast.
