My local squirrels were remiss last year about harvesting the bumper acorn crop. Consequently I have scores of mighty oaks sprouting from little acorns in my flower beds.
As an English major it was obvious to me than Birnam Wood was marching up my driveway.
Down the road there is an old quarry, filled with spring water and reputed to be bottomless, known to local name-droppers as Loch Ness West.
Mr. Noddy has several sacred, not-to-be-plumbed Black Holes.
Do you have any literary borrowings in your landscape? Or are you grounded in reality?
I used to live in 'the shoebox in the middle of the road' but I'm not sure Monty Python can be classified as a literary reference.

Right now my back yard is the Sands of the Kalahari - was that a movie or book?
Ah, Sands of the Kalihari is/was a movie, circa 1965 -

I'm always just "This side of Paradise."
Beyond our sun filled field is the Wild Wood.
It was common parlance for New South Welshmen to call Victorians 'Mexicans' because they were 'South of the border'
I'm glad to know other A2K posters have flexible borders.
