I don't mind people stopping in front of the house admiring stuff in the garden -
it happens a lot - but sometimes weird stuff happens that gets my attention to
where I have to stop what I'm doing and check it out.
Some guy pulls up to our house pretty fast - backs up - gets out and starts fondling the irises.
He seems so overwhelmed by something - really hyper! - that he goes thru various motions:
opens the backdoor to his car, walks up the walkway like he's going to our front door,
turns around and walks back to his car, closes the back door and goes around to the
other side of his car and opens the other back door, then the front door ...

Apparently, he's so excited seeing one of our irises growing ("I've never seen one like that..."),
