We were cycling along, minding our own business, when I just had to laugh out loud.

It’s a Hedge Monster consuming a street sign.
Caught in the act!
🙂

It’s a funky neighbourhood place marker.
Do little kids use it to help them find their way home from school?
How big was it when it was first planted?
How long has it been this big?
So many questions…

The foliage density impresses me… as does the tidiness of clipping inside the shrub itself — around the street sign.

The stains on the sidewalk & driveway tell me the hedge sometimes overwhelms its allowed space.

It could easily impede

  • driveway access.
  • mower access on the neighbour’s lawn.
  • pedestrian access along the sidewalk.

How often does the gardener sheer this shrub to keep it tidy?

I giggle to myself & cycle away, on the lookout for more fun.
