Husband - what's that plant that's growing in the garden, I thought at first it was a starfish? (He isn't very knowledgeable about plants).
Me - what plant?
Husband - the one growing on the back lawn.
Me - that'll be a weed.
Husband - the one growing in the grass - the orange one.
Me - we haven't got any orange plants growing in the grass, we only have weeds.
Husband - there's definitely an orange plant growing in the grass, the shape of a starfish.
Me - I'll go and have a look myself!
And what do you know, it is a starfish!!!!
We only live two minutes walk away from the beach, but I'm sure it would take a starfish a lot longer to walk the distance.
Presumably a seagull has lost his tasty snack.
I am sure some big bird dropped it right there on your lawn, What a find!

It has certainly proved a great conversation piece.
Deleteoh how funny! I hope you took him back to the beach! http://maybemayhemmakeup.blogspot.com.au/
ReplyDeleteSadly, we were too late to save him (we called him Timothy).
DeleteThat is quite amazing, what an un usual find.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful. "The day we found the starfish in the garden" will definitely go down in history.
DeletePoor starfish and nice you live close to the beach I bet the air there is really clean x
ReplyDeleteIt's great living by the beach - rather blustery at the moment with sand all over the place.
DeleteThat's so strange but yes it must have been a seagull, I hope he had a decent send off poor thing. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, poor Timothy was shown due respect and disposed of accordingly!
Deletewe found a crab on our lawn, when we lived in Hull. Its the seagulls.
