La Conner Weekly News - Your independent hometown award-winning newspaper

If you have ever driven down Sixth Street towards the schools, you will have seen the house, it is pretty much impossible to miss. It is very colorful and full of “yard art.” The art consists of metal, glass, ceramic and stone, and there are probably 200 pieces or more. All are whimsical, colorful and some even carry messages of peace and hope.

The house itself is a joy to look at as well, colorful and whimsical, much like the owner. The trees and foliage have been carefully selected to enhance the entire property and extend all along the amazingly decorated deck.

I have the privilege of living across the street from Jaci, and so assist with maintaining the trees in her yard and assisting with some repairs and arrangements on her deck.

At times, I have purchased some yard art and surreptitiously placed it in the yard to see how long it takes her to notice.

Another bonus is sharing an adult beverage in the owners’ “wine room.” Drive by, park, look, take pictures. You will leave enriched.
