Stormy at Home with the Gnomes!

Today's weather: Partly cloudy. Slightly windy. High of 62 degrees. Red flag warning remains in effect for elevated risk of brush fires.

Gnome, gnome on the range!

Christine Rains made a helpful suggestion for this challenge. She wanted to see me visit with my Gnome friends!

What a splendid idea! Let me introduce you to some of my Gnomies!

Gnomes that live in 'the wild' have 'wild' jobs to do.

Stormy with Fudwick.
Fudwick here is in charge of carrying mushrooms on his shoulder.
Stormy with Loopwyn.

Stormy with Roywinkle.

Stormy with Pilwinkle.

Stormy with Goose.


 





Loopwyn lets birds poop right in her hand.










Roywinkle, well, he likes wood!











Pilwinkle, Roy's wife, likes wood too, but she also must grow flowers out of her ear.








This is Goose.
He's adopted.

    Bird poo must be a natural enemy of gnomes. I'd think more would use umbrellas.

    Rob Z - You made me laugh too!

    Suz - Thanks. Thanks for the goose too!

    J.C. - I'm so glad. Thank you!

    farawayeyes - Appreciate that!

    Murees - They were pretty cool. I was lucky to find them.

    Laura - Welcome and thanks for stopping in!

    L.G. - I'm sure there are more jobs. Maybe some are less 'hands on'!

    Donna - That's awesome. We love Kung Fu Panda!

    Karen - So sweet. Thank you!

    Stephen - That would be a cute gnome! Giant umbrella over his head!

    Thanks for the visit!
