Gnomes

I love the gnomes
I m drawn to them
One time I had twelve
I  named all of them
I named him Chris
He holds a gift for me
Another one I named 
Charlie
I have a tumbler
With gnomes and hearts
shapes
When waiting in a line 
It called out to me
So I bought it
I take my tumbler 
everywhere I go

Darlene! I’ve treasured a lovely, big, pic , adult’s book about gnomes for decades. We’ve nice faeries around our house and troublesome sprites who snitch and hide things. I think perhaps guardian angels are allowed to smack a sprite when caught in the act. The air is thick with things unseen, n’est-que-ce pas? Hugs

Hello Sally Eslinger, Sally, I agree the air is full of troublesome spirits. yes i agree the angels should be allowed to smack the evil spirits unseen. If you said : Do I understand? Yes I understand. Hugs. /Darlene/

- Gnomes are kind and sweet, Darlene ... a great feature among the flowers in the garden ... trolls can not stand sunlight and are ugly ... long nose and big ears ... maybe they also eat small children ... wooow :))) - hugs

Hello Sunshine Smile, When i lived in a small town with my husband, I had 15 gnomes in my flower garden. Each had a name. I would not like the trolls Gnomes are friendly with happy faces. Trolls eat small children! How mean!! Hugs./Darlene/

trolls are usually mean, they dislike humans, gnomes are friendly to humans and animals. Trolls are bigger than gnomes.
