Susan,

To your question....someone in my area has a (fake) Mickey Mouse topiary near his front entrance. The Village Watch has dinged him for this several times as it is against the deed compliance rules. His reply/defense is to put a seasonal flag/decoration on Mickey (right now he is holding a red Santa sack) at all times of the year. Seasonal decorations are allowed for up to 30 days at a time, so, the neighbor finds an appropriate event and adorns Mickey accordingly.

It's kind of a cute topiary but rules is rules. So far, he and the Watch are at a standoff.
