Two gnomes scurry and scuttle around my garden picking broccoli and searching for bugs and caterpillars.
They are fun to watch, fun to listen to and fun to be around. Their constant energy is enough to fuel and reignite my excitement at finding new fruits, fresh eggs and even bugs.
They are hard workers…constantly on the search for a pest or praying mantis. Armed and ready with bug house, mason jar and bug gun.
They are quick to find and point out something new or something that they hadn’t seen in one of their many patrols. They enthusiastically make sure everyone sees this new ‘thing’ they found.
They eagerly race out to the blackberry patch to see who can find the biggest ‘jackpot’ of berries to pick.
They are thrilled to find a caterpillar and see what kind of butterfly or moth it will turn out to be.

Their curiosity is contagious.
Their enthusiasm is energizing.
Their happiness is heavenly.
They plant seeds of joy everywhere they go.
A little tiny gnome
Has nature to call home
He sprints and jumps around
In gardens he is found
a pinch of homestead
