Pink Reptiles of Wisconsin

It's the time of year when we look up at our front yard maple tree and wonder which will drop first, that gigantic mass of leaves or a foot of snow.  Leaves appear to be winning this year so there have been multiple runs to the municipal yard waste dump.

Over on one end of it are big piles of concrete and rubble.  Mostly from projects around town but evidently some private donations as well.  Here's a swell pink alligator that was set up tastefully.

And say, aren't those some nice red bricks back behind it?  Why yes, and one of them will feature in a future tale of local history.
