Texas Homeowners Spice Up Their Lawn with Dinosaur Sculptures

In the age of power-hungry Homeowner’s Associations telling folks what they can and cannot do with their yards, it’s always refreshing when someone decides to say “screw your fascist rules” and incorporate some unexpected creativity in their yards. Take, for instance, Nancy Hentschel and her husband, who decided to bring a little Jurassic flavor to their upscale neighborhood.
Here’s the story: According to Houston’s KTRK, the Hentschels stumbled across some dinosaur sculptures crafted by a local artist while vacationing in Arizona. Instead of taking photos of the dinos and sharing them with friends and family on social media, they decided to purchase these imposing creatures and sprinkle them throughout their front yard. It’s actually kind of cool.
New Territory residents have definitely taken notice, and the response has been a mixed affair. While some don’t have a problem with the dinosaur sculptures, others think they shouldn’t take up space in the front yard. The Homeowner’s Association, meanwhile, has yet to issue a public statement about the matter. Nancy isn’t letting the threat of a sternly-worded letter and a potential fine rain on her parade; she’s already planning “special effects” for Halloween. Fight the good fight, Nancy!
