Gargoyle

Gargoyles can be traced back 4000 years to Egypt, Rome and Greece. Many people believe that gargoyles were developed by medieval architects and stone carvers to ward off evil in an imperfect world. Some believe that gargoyles were inspired directly via a passage in the Bible while others believe that gargoyles and grotesques are inspired by the skeletal remains of prehistoric beasts such as dinosaurs and giant reptiles. The churches of Europe carried them forward into time to act as guardians of the church to keep the terrible spirits of evil away. They adorn countless cathedrals in the world and they have inspired curiosity, awe, laughter, and occasionally fear.

I know a couple of people that could use a gargoyle right now. You know who you are. This one's for you.

And here's one of a wild pansy in the grass behind the shop.
