Joys of Autumn and Sheer Silliness

Reading about a large family of hardy plants on Pam Montgomery's blog reminded me of a volunteer specimen that seems to be a hybrid between my 'autumn joy' stonecrop (or sedum) near the public sidewalk and a much shorter spreading 'dragons blood' variety close to our house.

Rosy flowered as opposed to rust red,
this sedum still makes for excellent
mantid hunting grounds...


The silly thing I want to share did not photograph so well. With the homeowner in his open garage, I snapped a quick pic and drove away.

The green rectangle frames
what I tried to show...


At least an Internet search offered plenty of images. There are numerous vendors and some of their products actually spin.

I think the solid silver one looks better.

Have you seen one of these novelty car accessories? Would you own one?

  2. The winder is a new one for me. I've seen the antlers and nose for Christmas. I've seen various Halloween-y ones. And, of course, the sports team flags. But not a winder.

  3. That is just too cute on the back of that car. It does look like a little wind up toy. Actually a big wind up toy but you get what I mean...lol

  4. I love it. Yes, I would own one :) I used to want the sticker for a car that makes it look like it got shot up, but my hubby didn't think it would be a good idea. XO

    1. I agree, and just realized it would be funny to wear one as a Halloween costume. Just normal street clothes and a wind-up key. Heh... Too bad we aren't likely to attend any parties.
