~garden ornament
sweet creature with painted smile
sits in heat or cold
birds and squirrels climb and roost
my patient, plaster gnome~

(giggles in delight) Oh Chris, I love lawn gnomes so much, they are so cute and I love to put them on my lawn too and pretend I'm having tea parties and scones with them! (kiss on cheek) This is adorable, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

SmartChick - thankyou so much.

Vicky - thanks for dropping by and commenting.

kaile - lol. I suppose if my gnome was a patient..he would be a very patient one. thankyou.

INclan - Yes, I agree. I was just looking out at my backyard with all of this snow covering it, and I noticed I had forgotten to bring inside one of my little garden friends for the winter. But, he was still smiling! thankyou.
