Exceedingly Mundane

::Painted Garden Gnomes::

Onesome: Painted– Hey! Are you getting all painted up on Monday and going out and about? What are you dressing up as? …or are you staying home and handing out goodies? …or sitting in the dark and wishing they would all just go away? Come on ! Nope, not getting dressed up this year, but we’ll hand out candy (what’s left that we haven’t eaten!). I’m wondering now if the kids are coming Monday night or Saturday night. Read a blurb in the paper yesterday that Jackson is observing trick or treating on Saturday night and not Monday. What’s up with that? Not sure if Madison will follow suit or not.

Twosome: Garden– In the garden of your mind, where do you go to relax for a few moments? Off to the beach? …to the mountains? …to a different world? …or maybe a stroll though an old Victorian landscape? To the mountains. Some of my most wonderful memories are of our wedding, honeymoon and subsequent trips back to Gatlinburg. I love love love the mountains. 😀

Threesome: Gnomes– Okay, we have to know: what do you think about garden gnomes and pink flamingos and such? I mean other than there seems to be a local ordinance that you have to have at least one or the other in your front yard if you live in South Florida? They don’t really bother me. One of our neighbors has a couple of pink flamingos mixed in with all their other garden “art” (or junk, depending on how you view it). But, they’re the only ones. Some people get them placed in their yards by one or more local companies that plant them in the middle of the night for people’s birthdays and stuff. We’ve seen that a few times in our neighborhood, always really funny!
