Gnome Showing the Way to Freedom

“You better be right buster. My necks on the line here.

“Well it would certainly help if you get that big butt into the air and lay off the arm a bit.”

Happy Thanksgiving to all, even the turkeys.

Hartwood Roses has a beautiful tile tray giveaway for the holidays. Go to her site to enter, also to follow. The site is beautifully done and fun to read. And, a very generous gift, too.

What an adventurous life those gnomes lead.

  I know. Sometimes I wouldn’t mind being one.

Donna, I never knew gnomes were such brave characters. He’d better be careful, the turkey looks like he means business, and maybe has ‘gnome’ on the menu for his dinner! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

  You should see the little guys in action. Go out around dusk, look around the big leaved plants like Hosta, and you might see one on the move. They are fast though, you gotta be quick.

The turkey looks very real. If not for the gnome, I would have thought it was a photo. Happy Thanksgiving Day!

  I though so too. I spent a lot more time painting him than some of the others. Smaller brush stokes and many, many layers in Photoshop equals a more realistic illustration.

  They are on their way. Gnomes just know how to get anything done for the animals.

  I wish you a Happy Turkey Day too. And I forgot, Happy Tofu Day to those here that choose a tofu bird. I know my turkey above is hoping more choose tofu.

My delicious turkey could have used a little help from that gnome. Too late! Yum!! Thanks for the heads up on Hartwood Roses. I’ll have to stop by! :0)

  Mine too. I bought a fresh turkey this year and it was oh so good.

The turkey looks a little hungry to me. I hope the gnome has good turkey wrangler skills.

  Funny, but I was going to go with that gag, but then thought there would be some upset readers. Figuring the gnome would be the turkey’s last meal if he did not get the turkey to safety. LOL
