Garden gnomes on the brain.

I call this de-stressing writing. And, if you dont have a sense of humor, downright distressing humor.
It all started this morning , when I sent my sister a garden gnome. It was through facebook for her web garden.
Move forward too later this evening. You would see me walking through the gardening section of Canadian Tire. This is a new pastime for me.
My eyes fell upon a very attractive garden gnome. He had just the right painted hue. His eyes beamed up at me and his head tilted just at the right angle. I was drawn to pick him up, imagining how I could give it to my brother-in Law Ashley as a B-Day present joke. Im sure i saw one pop up in the anvil pic's this year. Anyway, I continued pushing the cart and digressed to the camping aisle. Dreaming and wishing I could buy the coolest B-day present for my sister Natalie . A giant Tent villa complete with netting sections and little fake canvas windows, just the trifling price of $224.00. I Imagined how her and her specially invited friends could kick back on Anvil Island up on the top of the hill . Sipping hot chocolate and eating cookies. Watching the people getting eaten alive by mosquito's outside and perhaps allowing them in. I shook my head and advanced to the car wash/product aisle, picking out some some simple green and a nice wooly cleaning mitt. An attractive gift to my husband and an exciting nudge in regards to the filthy condition of our car exterior. It was there, that I glanced down and remembered the garden gnome. He was so perky and as far as garden gnomes go very tempting.

Guess what is sitting wedged between the Sponges and Shammies.......
Poor garden Gnome.
