Question Everything: Why the pendants in the trees?

This passionate pink place on Millstream Road at the top end of British Properties has two lines of pendants or flags hanging between a couple of big trees behind it, and we have to wonder what the story is on that. It couldn't possibly be the washing on a clothesline, but that's what it reminds me of. When I was a kid, the drier was a big loop of stranded wire running on two pulleys attached to poles at either end of the back yard, and you pegged the wet wash onto one strand of the wire, and then ran it out along the line as more was added. Mother Nature provided the laundry freshener with lots of fresh air. And the price was right. We didn't leave it hanging between the trees for weeks, though.... And this isn't laundry, I'm sure.
