Sculptures on the Bikepath near the garden

[genevra-mcneil.livejournal.com]

I have long admired the lovely sculptures that line the bikepath near the garden just out of Davis. That said, where a few dotting the undergrowth are quirky and interesting, I feel like maybe we've passed into crowded and junk-yard-esque. Am I the only one who feels this way? Does anyone know the artist (if there is only one artist)? Perhaps she or he can do a little curation on the collection -- a rotating set of five or ten sculptures with the others in storage?

Clearly this is just one woman's opinion. I was just curious what other people felt?

ETA: I actually suggested the middle-of-the-road solution -- a more curated garden -- because I WORRY that the new, more crowded aesthetic is going to get some phone calls to 311 and maybe get cleaned out entirely. I've lived here for more than 15 years and I love the garden, I'm just asking for a touch of restraint. There's a large space between "sanitized" and complete anarchy. Neighborly compromise is at the heart of city living.

house-sitting or very short-term sublet in July?

My partner and I, former long-time Somerville residents, are coming back to the area for a week in late July (appx 25-31, slightly flexible). If anyone is looking for a house-sitter during that time, or has an apartment that they'd be interested in renting out for a week, we would be very interested! We are 30, clean, responsible, and have plenty of references. We're great at taking care of plants, creatures, etc. PM for more details.
