Door stops, like lawn ornaments, don't have to be serious to do a big job. With Independence Day right around the corner, we're in the high days of summer, with birds twittering and mosquitos waiting to bite. Yup, the slap of the screen door is something we'll be hearing a lot these next ten weeks. This pair of seagulls will do a fine job of guarding the door, and furthermore, they may scare of smaller pray. They're fun, and kind of folky, and life-sized. Prop open the main door, and let the screens do their job of letting in the sights and sounds of summer, knowing this pair of gulls is ready to take on door slammers, dogs, cats, toddler and the odd fish out of water.
