Pesky garden gnomes!

If you have read my past posts on WritingUp, you know that my wife and me spent our Sunday afternoon planting flowers. I did not mention, however, that during the process we discovered that the raccoons and skunks are not the only nighttime denizens of our yard.

It just so happens that a family of garden gnomes also lives in our yard. To our surprise, while scrounging under a bush looking for some fertile soil, I came across this guy…and look what he was doing all over my yard!

Fortunately his wife showed up whe she heard the ruckus that I was raising. Boy was she upset when she saw what he was doing.

I assured her that it was really ok, and there was no need to spank her husband on my account. I told them that they are more than welcome, just so long as they behave themselves and don’t taunt the cats too much.
