26 Things That Gnomes Can Do
But You Can't 




Clever

Gnomes can protect your yard, help in the garden, and even care for the local wildlife, all without you ever knowing they left their perch by the water feature.

Me? I do all kinds of things the 'blog lady' doesn't know about! Like, I joined the volunteer fire department!


Consequences.





***

Honestly, the last two days have been amazing!

The Blogging from A to Z April Challenge started, the visitors from the Insecure Writer's Support Group came and then I got Blitzed by the Blog Blitz team!

I was blitz blessed!

I've told you before how much the IWSG means to me. They are inspiring! You should join them.

If you haven't joined the Blog Blitz team, please consider it. When my comments went over 100 for the first time in my four years of blogging, even I got teary!

I still have a stupid grin on my face.

So, thank you. Every single one of you. Thank you.

  5. One too many beers there, Stormy!
    I told DL that it would be Blitz overload doing it on IWSG day - and that was awesome. You'll never forget it now.

  8. HA! I would hate to know why the Fire Fighters put him in that tree!

  9. I'm guessing the firefighters didn't like him hogging all the beverages. Don't get in between a thirsty rescue hero and his beer!

  13. It's been a wild ride, like one of those roller coasters that is so intense, you simply have to ride it again! So glad you're having such a good time and thrilled for the excitement of it all! You're a great Co-Host!

    Good luck with the rest of the trip to Z

  26. Looks like Stormy had to call his buddies at the Fire Dept. to help him outta that tree. Take it easy on the fist bumping brews next time, pal:)

  30. Aww! Everyone showed some love! And the comments are still coming in, I bet. :D

  31. haha, not sure Stormy was displaying "Clever" behavior by overindulging in alcohol to the point that he got stuck sideways in a tree - but at least he understands "Consequences"! And I'll give "Courage", too, for volunteering to put out fires. Unless he is the one starting them in the first place... hmmm...
