Courtly Matters

 Huzzah! Grammercy for the Gnomes Var! They arrived safely and are busy setting up gnome homes! The crispy garden is looking better already! They sure are cute little fellers! I love the gnome songs they sing too- although Gnome, Gnome on the Range will get old after a while! LOL! They have their task cut out for them here!

[Var Greyshadow]

The gnomes are from Target.  We've been collecting them for several years now.  Each year, they have four styles, and usually they're all new designs.  They also have tiny ones to go in plant pots.  I'm waiting for them to get to gnomies - we need some female gnomes too!

I wonder where they learned "Gnome on the Range".  We've only played faire music for them.

[Queen Bonnie]

 One never gnows with Gnomes!  They are taking a tea and magick mushroom break right now!  LOL!

[Var Greyshadow]

They'll join you for wine by the pool too!  One of them brought a picnic basket and bottle.

[Queen Bonnie]

 LOL! You should see the gnomes in their swimming suits!  We are having quite a jolly time! LOL!  I love picnics- with bottles!!

[Anna Iram]

Made a trip to Target today and picked up two gnomes! I am trying to convince them that laundry and dishes can be magical too...at least until I find a home with a garden. They're not buying it and I think they're getting pretty mad.....shhhh they're coming...they're..OH NO...ARRRRGGGGG!!!!!!

[Queen Bonnie]

 I see why the Gnomes are upset! You want house elves for the laundry and dishes. Gnomes only do garden work! Get some potted plants ASAP!

[C Dragonworks]

Yes House elves are in order... planters with a few weeds will at least keep you gnomes grounded. I need to find some more Gnomes for my gardens.... I have fairies,frogs,rabbits, and a few gnomes but not nearly enough for a garden of this size. Perhaps I can get some to follow me home soon!   OH and picnic by the pool does sound fun!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Var brought me a gnome when she came to visit!  I gnamed him Gnorbert! LOL! He is right at home and has taken charge of all that remains alive at Meow Manor!

[Anna Iram]

I've set mine to work on the balcony. I've a potted plumeria grown from a cutting which I am determine to keep alive until I can plant it in the ground somewhere.

Var did good with the gnome post. Sweet of her to gift you with one Bonnie, and I just love mine that I bought. So cute.

[Queen Bonnie]

 I have a few plumeria too! They do well in pots!
I love my gnome! He is the one with the staff.  Very cute! Now I want MORE!!!
Are gnomes addictive? LOL!

[Anna Iram]

I currently have a three a day habit. 

I found mine on sale and bought the one with the staff and then two more. One with a pipe and one with gardening tools. I love the fellow with the staff! He'll remain mine, but one other will be a gift for my sister when she get's the keys to her first home.

(sighs) I need to stop disappearing from the realm for long periods of time. For every time I return I find so many whom I don't know and I realize how much I missed those I do know.

(Looks around and grins happily) Oh it's good to be home here at Queen Bonnie's Realm!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Welcome back Lady Claira!  We missed you!
  I want more gnomes. I am not sure they love the TX heat wave though!

[Var Greyshadow]

The gnomes are not over fond of the TX heat.  They're heading back to cooler climes until next spring, when some more of their cousins should come out to see us.  Ours have decided they prefer the air-conditioning and are staying inside.  They do not like too much sunshine either - they WILL fade, and badly, if left in direct sun.
