Gnomes.

 Do you ever get times when doing nothing seems like a great idea?  I have been having a hard time getting myself motivated lately and, of course, it is the busiest time of the year.  I may just need to get back on my daily vitamin.  In any case, I am going to make a good effort at getting some things done today.

Tomorrow, we have to drive a good distance for hubbies' appointment with the specialist so I know we will be beat when we get home, especially as I will have to get up earlier than usual.

Our two furry children are starting to get along a bit better although Heidi is still jealous.  I have been teaching Ally a trick and she picked it up right away.  I hold my hand sideways and say, "head" and she leans over and places her head against my hand.  She might do it anyway as she loves being petted but I am going to believe she is learning words.

My neighbour is a very talented artisan.  This gnome is about 18 inches tall, made with white velvet and faux fur.  She also makes lots of smaller gnomes, but I think this fellow is magnificent.  I can see him sitting under a tree in a upscale home.

I love gnomes and hedgehogs.  I think the two go together, don't you?

Blessings,
