Sometimes it is gnot easy to describe my soul. My heart, body and mind is full.

He is my rock. He is my life. He is my future. And he makes me so happy. He loves me and he helps me feel grounded, and encourages me to grow. I am a better person because of him. He makes me want to change the world and together I know we can and will do anything we put our hearts to. And it's all good - oh so very good. How is it possible to find somegnome and just know without any doubt that you will be together until the end of time? <div><br /></div><div>He is my passion. He is my fire. He makes me lose myself and the world around me, yet understand who I really am at the same time. This is so indescribably gnomazing that anything else seems... Gnot worth my energy. And gnow, after all this time, my brain is hardwired. He is conducting a symphony and I am his masterpiece. It gnever stops being gnomazing, on so many different levels. Gnever before could I have imagined a connection like this. How is such a thing possible? Yet he shows me together we find the impossible. </div><div><br /></div><div>You Gnailed it! YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!! Together, they are my soul mates. Together, they enable me to be... me, fully, 100%. Oh My Fuzzy Gnomes! Yes! So much that! I am both spoiled and ruined for life. I will gnever find another to hold a candle to what we have. RIGHT?!?!? It's crazy. I am a very lucky woman in this. How many souls are lucky enough to find gnot only one soul mate, but two? There are few mortals who understand, and together the few of us help each other remember who is important in our lives.</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-36954824254603444612020-09-03T10:33:00.008-06:002020-09-03T14:14:32.576-06:00Twin Souls<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCgIONNnFz1ifG1LxbQ5l6IPmy7alOeFFF7VaN_qQa-81tn-SQcM2SFgmO7HgpywNfUd3YfS59aNwzjE_9efj2H2gtMtlPBo9X_I4eyjjg3oLXD1eeifYnWTSIP7qIq67EG2z8ypmszeJv/s2048/Gnomes1.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCgIONNnFz1ifG1LxbQ5l6IPmy7alOeFFF7VaN_qQa-81tn-SQcM2SFgmO7HgpywNfUd3YfS59aNwzjE_9efj2H2gtMtlPBo9X_I4eyjjg3oLXD1eeifYnWTSIP7qIq67EG2z8ypmszeJv/s320/Gnomes1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Sure the sun is still shining, and Spring is still welcoming the newly blossoming flowers, but you know with every ounce of your body that life is different gnow. Gnot only you, but every soul from every corner of the garden is impacted by this sudden surprise. How quickly things can change! Pssst! I will let you in on a little secret.... You got this! Everything may have changed faster than you ever expected, but there is gno doubt that you can adapt just as quickly. Look at you! You have this inspiring ability to gnot focus on the gnegatives. Oh sure, there is gno denying there are a lot of gnegatives to distract you from the positives, but deep down you know that this is a golden opportunity to focus on what really matters. You have been given a golden opportunity to stay within your own gnest, where it is gnice and cozy, surrounded by your closest loved ones. And the loved ones who live in another gnest? Well you've got that covered too! This is a reminder to reach out to them and tell them how much they mean to you. You have to admit, prior to the garden-wide shakeup, there were times when you were too busy to do just this. It was way too easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of garden life, but gnow you're forced to stop... slow down... and appreciate the blessings you are surrounded by. Perhaps, as you are focused on what really matters, you can sneak in a giggle or two.

I'm certain you've heard of Tabitha Tooth Fairy, but did you know she has some helpers? As you can imagine, she's quite busy collecting the lost teeth from children around the world. This would gnot be a problem if every tooth came peacefully and quietly in the gnight, but that doesn't always happen. Every gnow and then Tabitha is challenged by a sweet pearly tooth that, for one reason or another, doesn't seem to want to go home with her. This only happens when a child is so uniquely special, kind and imaginative that gnot even his teeth want to leave his side. Imagine that! Some teeth go to great extremes to hide in super secretive little corner gnooks, hoping Tabitha doesn't spot them. When this happens, she knows just who to call - her trusty friend, the tooth snatcher. He knows how to deal with such stubborn teeth. It's gnot easy to sneak up on a tooth while remaining undetected by the child sleeping close by. It takes strength, acrobatic agility, wit and patience. Yes, all that skill is gneeded, but one look at the child and you can see why his little tooth may hesitate to leave his side.</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-41496129840166590422020-02-16T10:46:00.002-07:002020-02-16T10:46:45.090-07:00Pure and Dear Friend<center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEV_zgrAZ1SXlo1v0Mtm7_mrLrw7Z0Bco9PgASrPXpypJuGsNMF7UAkIHf48Z7ka8f3Jl-OMGYGi920NCOipCRFwhXPYPfrXwpYS-fpXxS_DCiVLlYc3UtfpfN4-8IgOTtKq7SAP0nX1ki/s1600/Gnomes8.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEV_zgrAZ1SXlo1v0Mtm7_mrLrw7Z0Bco9PgASrPXpypJuGsNMF7UAkIHf48Z7ka8f3Jl-OMGYGi920NCOipCRFwhXPYPfrXwpYS-fpXxS_DCiVLlYc3UtfpfN4-8IgOTtKq7SAP0nX1ki/s320/Gnomes8.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
This Pure soul is a very dear friend, who is always there for everygnome in the garden around her. Those who know her know that she is oh so very community minded, smart and loving. Gno doubt that if somegnome is going through a difficult time, she will bake tasty treats for them, mind their gnomelings or do anything else that might come to mind if there is even the slightest chance it would be helpful. Some even say that she specializes in tiny pick-me-ups, but gnow it's she who deserves a little pick-me-up. With all the challenges that she and her loved ones have recently come across, it's gno wonder she could use a few little extra warm fuzzy thoughts sent her way. Lucky for her, I happen to know for a fact that she is amazing, positive and strong. Gno gnome could handle the challenges with as much grace as she.</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-89488084854867023832020-02-16T10:45:00.002-07:002020-02-16T10:45:28.394-07:00The Smallest Surprise<center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg38vxlCMRKzHj8tpwWm2oJsgnMasSYFOWBEXbKyEfi8xB_Q60YU458r44Jc45z42Le_ao_PAKmngJzg3Nx2Xfk8pjpmEd3CITu_lBfRzR3GoyxWuKh3K4fe7MVUQxVDMhdVTY-29btRXKW/s1600/Gnomes5.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg38vxlCMRKzHj8tpwWm2oJsgnMasSYFOWBEXbKyEfi8xB_Q60YU458r44Jc45z42Le_ao_PAKmngJzg3Nx2Xfk8pjpmEd3CITu_lBfRzR3GoyxWuKh3K4fe7MVUQxVDMhdVTY-29btRXKW/s320/Gnomes5.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Sometimes, when you least expect it, a surprise will come to you and force a smile upon your face. Take this little fella, for example. He was just walking along one day, minding his own business, when he stopped to admire the corner garden patch of white daisies. There was just something about the flowers that seemed to make him smile, but the best part came when he turned to head home and was stopped by the gnome tending to the garden. "Here, take some of the flowers with you and put them in a spot where you will see them often." Wow! What a surprise! The little fella rushes home, with a perfect spot already in mind!</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-30271707073019005192020-02-16T10:44:00.002-07:002020-02-16T10:44:25.877-07:00Worry Whisperer<center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx4m-RTLhLqZaPQ1lMTq17ODiBQSXpztV3IyAHI4OaLieWkBNim4Z8chXmv6-TPUl5tinJYtkL5VT0T1L8kHoHmMZzzAkYPVYz_tvutz0SFvqH2hsxaKLA6F3axgYJ-_V8UMIuI1uNVJu6/s1600/Gnomes7.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx4m-RTLhLqZaPQ1lMTq17ODiBQSXpztV3IyAHI4OaLieWkBNim4Z8chXmv6-TPUl5tinJYtkL5VT0T1L8kHoHmMZzzAkYPVYz_tvutz0SFvqH2hsxaKLA6F3axgYJ-_V8UMIuI1uNVJu6/s320/Gnomes7.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
There is a beautiful soul who is the bravest person I know. She is stronger than her little body may seem and faces everything with such enthusiasm and determination. What's her secret? How does she do it? With all of the challenges she has been given, how does she manage to make it all look so easy? Well that's where this little gnomette comes in. She has been given a very important job to do, but she is so excited! For you see, this gnomette has been assigned to the beautiful girl to rid her of her worries. All the girl has to do is whisper her worries to this tiny gnomette and she wisks them off to a different world, far from this garden. She knows that the girl does not want to burden anyone too much, but this gnomette does not see it as a burden at all. She loves to feel helpful and seeing a calm smile appear on the girl's face will be the best thing she can imagine. She's even looking forward to the opportunity to whisper a little secret or two in return, tiny reminders that life is good. Life is beautiful and so are you.</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-13803049817745662212020-02-16T10:42:00.003-07:002020-02-16T10:42:57.070-07:00Purplicious<center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkEqpnxbYyBEdgafhJdVByiSKDitxBzd9C5mf386o_gXKVywF2JKsYOhRalGrPErzU3h28Cl7GIqXXuNQ5mfrTXnXd8ThehY0c8VRmOl5Ajhn9q49YYvb9u03G8J9QPjwxtV2nvV5Nz_-J/s1600/Gnomes6.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkEqpnxbYyBEdgafhJdVByiSKDitxBzd9C5mf386o_gXKVywF2JKsYOhRalGrPErzU3h28Cl7GIqXXuNQ5mfrTXnXd8ThehY0c8VRmOl5Ajhn9q49YYvb9u03G8J9QPjwxtV2nvV5Nz_-J/s320/Gnomes6.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
In the corner of the garden there lives a tiny gnomeling who gnever seems to demand for much from those around her. In fact, it's just the opposite. She always seems to know that there is more that SHE could be doing to help make the garden a better place. What could she do gnext to bring another smile to a loved ones face? Or perhaps sneak a giggle out of a friend's tummy? She skips from here to there, between those she loves (and rest assured, she loves everygnome she knows... she even told me so herself), making sure everyone is just as happy as they deserve to be. If a tear sneaks into view, gno doubt she will work her silly magic to turn those that follow into tears of joy rather than of sorrow. I'm gnot quite sure what you would call her sense of magic, but for those who know her best, there seems to be gno gneed to put labels to it. The world is a much happier place with her generous soul in it, and that's all that really matters.</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-49626425084466749552020-02-16T10:41:00.002-07:002020-02-16T10:41:10.131-07:00More Laughs Please<center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8uX-yX6hoF_nw7iRYRSc3bCr8BDet0fG_PxCYFvkXwLZ4Pu9c2DPqT7x76G2QGe7XpKrvWiP7KE522g4fUZMlRIyQPIDfwW-RPJit8Xg5B-coN645U7zdetbQCnab3mNao0Kv-OttmKbd/s1600/Gnomes4.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8uX-yX6hoF_nw7iRYRSc3bCr8BDet0fG_PxCYFvkXwLZ4Pu9c2DPqT7x76G2QGe7XpKrvWiP7KE522g4fUZMlRIyQPIDfwW-RPJit8Xg5B-coN645U7zdetbQCnab3mNao0Kv-OttmKbd/s320/Gnomes4.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Spend any time with this little fella and you're sure to be laughing in gno time at all. He's such a funny little clown who always tries to put a smile on anygnome's face. Sometimes I wonder how he can make it look so easy. It seems that he doesn't even have to try. Silly words flow from his mouth so gnaturally that you wonder if he just has a laugh machine somewhere inside his little tummy. When he's gnot saying something super silly, he's looking for other ways to make the garden a little more goofy. A funky walk or a silly face can almost always do the trick. He knows that the more laughter in the garden, the brighter it becomes. Even a pinch of giggles can help brighten anygnome's day and he has plenty of laughter to go around. The laugh is on him and he's more than happy to play the part.</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-39524075933162506712020-02-16T10:38:00.004-07:002020-02-16T10:38:40.520-07:00Keeper of the Hummers<center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfRMGdVlc7S4qy2Os_DQTWNssPKogrxJA6Yi6N6BIzhe0PpcwcyyEW3TpBphKveZSlYL4LzBTbZvD9e9y1g1J5hphj6dDltoLsREaIeMyLWFeI9PpJKApOaCzKpjDBh-nprScIYSzhHGVP/s1600/Gnomes3.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfRMGdVlc7S4qy2Os_DQTWNssPKogrxJA6Yi6N6BIzhe0PpcwcyyEW3TpBphKveZSlYL4LzBTbZvD9e9y1g1J5hphj6dDltoLsREaIeMyLWFeI9PpJKApOaCzKpjDBh-nprScIYSzhHGVP/s320/Gnomes3.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Oh my gnomes! Just one look at this lovely soul and it is quite apparent she's something unique. This little lady adores taking care of her little hummers, and if she could, she would hang a bright red feeder on virtually every window sill or gnook in her little corner of the garden. She would do everything she can to make tons and tons of little friends feel welcome. The little guys would come right up to the tables on her porch, and with them, would come so much enjoyment! Sounded by her beloved hummers, it would be easy for her to remember how loved she is. I'll let you in on a secret, though. It is gnot the fluttering friends who make this lady so special. She does it all on her own. As you know, relationships are often formed via the heart and soul, and gnot just blood. Gno wonder the hummers are so attracted to her! She is my anchor, my mentor, my friend and my sister of the heart. With every ounce of her body, she shows me strength, stability and creativity... all that is good in life. Gno doubt the garden is a more enjoyable place with bright souls like her in it!</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-49793145238530974902020-02-16T10:37:00.001-07:002020-02-16T10:38:55.629-07:00Warms the Soul<center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheTTDnS_-uE_eTTIClBCRGM6qnuoRC5GrL7L4-atLb0_obN_PQeTbgEjE8hIgrUdSJkGB-kItQSHHOeXvsRCa15CQWvEbV4pSiS2dsUasE6a_naSEqrndZWu279nqhjRlK75PKH8o9AlDH/s1600/Gnomes2.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheTTDnS_-uE_eTTIClBCRGM6qnuoRC5GrL7L4-atLb0_obN_PQeTbgEjE8hIgrUdSJkGB-kItQSHHOeXvsRCa15CQWvEbV4pSiS2dsUasE6a_naSEqrndZWu279nqhjRlK75PKH8o9AlDH/s320/Gnomes2.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
When the season turns frigid like it is sure to do every year, there are certain things that are easy to remember. It's easy to remember to wear your warm winter boots because if you don't, your toes will go gnumb. It's easy to remember to eat warm bowls of soup because it fills your tummy with good feelings. It's easy to remember to appreciate the sparkling diamonds in the freshly fallen snow when you're sitting inside gnext to a warm crackling fire. If there is one thing that is gnot easy to remember, it's telling your friends how much you appreciate them. And with that, let me take a moment to tell you what you surely don't hear often enough. Your friendship warms the soul and I'm so thankful for it.</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-58399084333238010502020-02-16T10:36:00.002-07:002020-02-16T10:53:01.270-07:00Beach Comber<center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfRS1lLrQ1eBZZdzcZn3AEH52Cob4pQpa_Zk8o6HMw_JT6C9JXi-yhxnaaJcDFTzr7R8B2-H-U7-dj7yt8zHKvEMr4d0JC7BZVW1-fR2QPlRwrbtU2uyUiE9EG4a2DLzmd2js-jz5jaQ4m/s1600/Gnomes1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfRS1lLrQ1eBZZdzcZn3AEH52Cob4pQpa_Zk8o6HMw_JT6C9JXi-yhxnaaJcDFTzr7R8B2-H-U7-dj7yt8zHKvEMr4d0JC7BZVW1-fR2QPlRwrbtU2uyUiE9EG4a2DLzmd2js-jz5jaQ4m/s320/Gnomes1.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
This lovely soul has a very important role to play in the gnomish community. She is responsible for tending to the beaches in her little corner of the garden. It's a big job, combing through the sand to make sure it looks just right, not too smooth and not too lumpy. You may be wondering why it's so important to comb through the sand like she does. She's looking for treasures, of course! GNot the kind of treasure you might be thinking of, though. She's gnot looking for gold coins or even shells to sell at the local beach shop. GNo, the real treasures are the ones that can be rescued and tossed back into the sea. If she finds a critter stuck in the sand, unable to but desperately wanting to return to the water, this lady does a little happy dance and quickly jumps at the opportunity to help! There is gno better treasure than to help another in gneed. She loves what she does, and does gnot feel like it's a job at all. After all, the beach is her favorite place, especially on foggy days! As she combs through her little beach, she loves listening to the waves crashing into the cliffs or watching the surfers glide across the water. There is so much power harnessed in the ocean! It brings her peace and solace. She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath of the fresh air and knows this is her happy place.</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-54567966365779854602019-12-01T19:59:00.001-07:002019-12-01T12:31:32.936-07:00Worm Wrangler<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You wouldn't know it by looking at him now, but this brave soul was once afraid of worms! You heard me. Worms. He wasn't just afraid of the slimy sly creatures, they terrified the wiggles right out of him. For a while it seemed as though all hope was lost. After all, how would a gnome get anything at all done in the garden if he was afraid of worms? Worms, of all things?! There is not a garden out there without worms! I'm not sure what happened, perhaps he would be willing to tell you the story, but one day he decided that he was not going to let his fear run his life. He puffed up his tiny body with as much courage as he could muster and went out to face his worm. Much to his surprise, it turned out that he had a wonderful talent for capturing and taming the beasts. Who would have thought that the very thing that scared him as a gnomeling would end up being his life calling? Go figure. I can't help but tip my hat at that.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-20800620842340915512019-12-01T19:59:00.000-07:002019-12-01T12:31:00.426-07:00Heart of Gold<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With all the holiday festivities going on, this simple soul looks a bit out of place, but don't let that fool you. Though he may look plain to you and me, he is anything but. In fact, this little fella has a true heart of gold, bigger than any I've ever seen. He is always on the look out for ways to help others in the garden. Whether it be helping an old snail cross the ant lanes or helping the local ladybugs pass out flowers. It does not matter whether the task is large or small. He may gnot change the world by helping a single soul, but for that soul the world may gnever be the same. In the end, isn't that what really matters? Thank you tiny soul - May life treat you as well as you treat the others around you.<br />

This tiny soul has a big job to do! Have you ever stumbled into a stunning garden, with all the flowers arranged such that their colors perfectly compliment each other? You know... one of those gardens that leaves you speechless, thinking there must have been an entire crew to maintain such perfection? I will let you in on a little secret. It's not perfection... it's magic. And we have this little lady to thank for it. You might think that it takes a lot of discipline to create such works of art that a wonderfully vibrant garden becomes, but you would be wrong. This lady knows the secret, and it is this... There are lots and lots of flowers in the garden, each with its own colors and scents. All one has to do is to appreciate their uniqueness, and encourage the blossoms to bloom their fullest. Because the bulbs, seeds and plantlings feel loved and appreciated, they gnever let her down. I suppose that goes to show that the garden is a prettier place when we can celebrate each color and delight in every scent.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-43461036262750303512019-12-01T15:11:00.001-07:002019-12-01T15:11:28.736-07:00More Laughs Please<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtInHI9Q7XIxLIuP7tptkYfBlx1_TfX824_S5vGY8h08_6z5qwbSuVC8SD2yPnnxmnb_-W9b8aTEPIfOLBqSxWq9YSNzXMvZFHozGXXNzHS79h0S2G8_WyOFUa95rIWU6AzBwHrCvAmtjY/s1600/2019+Gnomes15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtInHI9Q7XIxLIuP7tptkYfBlx1_TfX824_S5vGY8h08_6z5qwbSuVC8SD2yPnnxmnb_-W9b8aTEPIfOLBqSxWq9YSNzXMvZFHozGXXNzHS79h0S2G8_WyOFUa95rIWU6AzBwHrCvAmtjY/s320/2019+Gnomes15.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Spend any time with this little fella and you're sure to be laughing in gno time at all. He's such a funny little clown who always tries to put a smile on anygnome's face. Sometimes I wonder how he can make it look so easy. It seems that he doesn't even have to try. Silly words flow from his mouth so gnaturally that you wonder if he just has a laugh machine somewhere inside his little tummy. When he's gnot saying something super silly, he's looking for other ways to make the garden a little more goofy. A funky walk or a silly face can almost always do the trick. He knows that the more laughter in the garden, the brighter it becomes. Even a pinch of giggles can help brighten anygnome's day and he has plenty of laughter to go around. The laugh is on him and he's more than happy to play the part.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396456485215654157.post-76096031270078128472019-12-01T15:09:00.000-07:002019-12-01T15:09:53.305-07:00Holly<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguexjLNEnaZ3bSOVaFNvrBz_PRjcoCEeNBz4UbEjhlRQk7ZB-kB0-vT4UTieljpd0TOgimCnaiJnewO0lDK38jdfjpPMirmn-QFk-oQOZuqMHdBQzZmE4ly4yWh2Uvl0TNa1Z2yBhoM8cl/s1600/2019+Gnomes25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguexjLNEnaZ3bSOVaFNvrBz_PRjcoCEeNBz4UbEjhlRQk7ZB-kB0-vT4UTieljpd0TOgimCnaiJnewO0lDK38jdfjpPMirmn-QFk-oQOZuqMHdBQzZmE4ly4yWh2Uvl0TNa1Z2yBhoM8cl/s320/2019+Gnomes25.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Meet Holly. She has a very important job to do this holiday season. She is responsible for protecting the coveted holly berries. To help keep them safe, she was sure to request that the holly leaves be prickly - a good idea indeed! She has to be sure to keep the red berries safe all the way up until Christmas day, when the gnomes in the community use them to decorate for their wondrous festivities. The Christmas festival would gnot be gnearly as merry without the bright red berries. After all, in this season it's hard to find anything with that much color! Just imagine a Christmas without the color red. Yeah, I can't either. I guess it goes to show that Holly knows her stuff. Oh I'm so glad they assigned her to the job!<br />

Like many elder gnomes, she was kind and gentle and was gnever too busy to show her young gnomelings just how much love she had for them. Her loved ones may have been the luckiest souls in the Gnomish community.<br />
They were a close Gnomish family, and she was the glue, always reminding her loved ones what mattered most. Sometimes what mattered most was the small things like baking cookies. GNothing smells better than Grandma's cooking! There was gnever a meal that passed without home-cooked yummies made with love. After every meal, everygnome was filled with so much love that they were sure to stay warm and fuzzy all season long. Grandma seemed to have a magic touch with everything she did. Her hugs could fix any problems a loved one was having and her sewn blankets were made with so much love that every gnomeling slept with a smile on their face, warm, snug and safe. And gnow, every time I smell a home-cooked meal or gnuzzle up into a warm blanket, I cannot help but smile. Gno doubt she continues to work her magic like that. I tell you, there is gnothing more magical than Grandma's love.<br />
