It would be interesting to ask why situations such as this are NOT handled at all.

Going a step further, are there really residents who mark their calendar with the dates that neighbors put things up for holidays, and keep track of the exact time they take them down?

Also, the restrictions say no, but is there really anything wrong with a bird house, bird feeder, bird bath, plant in a pot or a landscape boulder??? I guess there is no real answer.

You will find there are people on this forum that probably do mark their calendar with the dates that neighbors put things up for holidays, and keep track of the exact time they take them down. Certain people have stated quite strongly in past posts, that "rules are rules" and are meant to be followed and enforced, with no exceptions. They are more caught up in the rule itself, than the intent of the rule.
