I had to go into town for a meeting, and then I was promised the day off. So as I left the house, I told Lingernot “Get ready, Your lounging days are over.”
After my meeting I hit up the stores. As I was walking down the garden isle at Home Depot, I heard
“Hey Roseane” I looked around expecting to find a friend, but no one was behind me. “I am over here” the voice called out, “above the terra cotta pots.” I looked up on the shelf, and there sat a Gnome with a bird on his hand. “Lingernot sent word out thru the Gnome Grapevine that he will be leaving soon and was looking for a volunteer to take his place out at your ranch. He said the gnome selected must love animals, as you have chickens, horses and a boy, and of course a love of gardening as this will be your first year of gardening. We all got together and discussed it and I offered to go live on a ranch. So please won’t you pick me up, put me in your cart and we will be off on the most excellent adventure for years to come.” I studied this little gnome who had twinkling eyes and sure enough a brownish red bird that kind of looked like my chickens. Something in his smile was warming so I picked him up and put him in the cart. “You won’t be sorry you have chosen me, and by the way, my friends call me Happy.”
