    Bsewnsew, your small, lazy gnome could be our very own Frank, just visiting. Of course, many of us in the US have made gnome homes just for Frank's convenience, but he chooses to be weasely or perhaps stoatish (or is that boarish) and not sleep in them. Why Zuzu even hired contractors to build him a gnomehome.

    Show photos of those animals?...wish I could. Unfortunately they're just as elusive as the gnomes around here. Oh, and I finished the bottle off :( a few days ago (the next AA grant comes through on Friday :-D) , so getting my head around this stuff stone cold sobre is no fun. Kidding of course :D .
    I don't have any gnomes myself. But there's a garden up the road that seems to be breeding them wholesale.
    Pete.

    Let's see. I lived in New Orleans from 1969 until 2003 when we moved to a bedroom suburb across Lake Pontchartrain. The suburb that Katrina hit the hardest. The house we lived in in New Orleans was about 1/2 block from one of the levee breaks. Our house across the lake was demolished and we had it bulldozed. That was the house you saw pictures of and yes that's an azalea. We are still in the same suburb, but in a house that we both dislike, but will stay here until we are capable of moving somewhere north and out of hurricane reach. Now I gotta remember where the pic of the gnome home is.

    Careful what you say, Pete. ;)
    Frank has seen your wee-house construction skills
    and he will be alerting the gnome network, they'll arrive in droves.

    Also, [​IMG] I think we must add badgers to the list of creatures that harbor animosity
    (or at the very least, envy) toward gnomes.

    As Jan said, I've undertaken the gnome-icile project [​IMG],
    and I'm having a devil of a time getting the task completed.[​IMG]
    There have been a series of unfortunate and somewhat mysterious developments,
    and it all seems to come back to the badger that I hired as general contractor.[​IMG]

    Back to those mysterious flat creatures called Badgers. How could something so incredibly cute be so maligned? Perhaps, ZZ, you mistook a wolverine for a badger. Wolverines are sneaky and not to be trusted.

    That's just how the little fellow took me in to begin with, Jan.

    I don't know much about gnomes but if they all have cute little houses like this one they are lucky little critters.

    BSewnetc, you are definitely one of us. You have sunk right down to the depths with the rest of us. Good on you.
    Yes, New Orleans was destroyed and so was our house because the dikes failed. But this dyke is alive and well and kickin' a$$
