Gnome sweet gnome

As you can see, the flowers of summer have shriveled and died, the leaves are falling, and the gnomes are complaining.

As you may know, gnomes usually spend all their time outside. They love the outdoors and especially gardening! This lot, however, are not a hardy bunch. They must originally come from someplace much warmer than we've had as of late. I'm thinking somewhere like Florida, Hawaii, or China perhaps. At any rate, they began complaining and gathering on the porch in front of the door.

There was nothing to be done but to let them in. I swept them off first, with a broom. I thought I heard giggling, but passed it off as squirrel noises.

As I said, gnomes love gardening so they gathered around a plant just inside the front door. They seem much happier now. At least I've heard no further complaints.

Do you think I should see a doctor?
