Gracie....it is obvious that most every one on TOTV that has responded agrees with you~
Although there are different opinions on how to deal with the situation....
I would say that.....what ever makes you comfortable and happy in your piece of paradise....is your answer. If it makes you comfortable to put plants up in order to avoid it....or to call the villages and report them.....then this is what you should do.
I understand that you don't want to post pictures.....you are right about the fact that everyone has different taste's and someone on here might actually like it!!
Personally....I can not stand fake flowers, statues and yard balls.......but this is my opinion.....hope there is not a yard ball!
