Gnomes without homes
On Donna's blog, she mentions this "short" article on gnomes without homes.
After the horrors of their abduction, one would think that their owners would claim the unfortunate piles of concrete and paint, and return them to their patio, lawn, and flower bed homes. But it just hasn't happened.
The poor vertically-challenged dears will probably suffer from shock at the impossibility of their return, but one gnome: we'll call him "Willaminafreddieafinfort" did go home. Lucky him.
But what of the others? I think we should construct a gnome outreach program. Anyone with me?!
Just look at the poor exterior design ornaments. Couldn't you share your lawn with one of them?
I've already decided to adopt one. I think I'm naming him Henry.

I think I want one name Snickersby.

Go ahead: ask me what happened to them.
