Garden Gnomes

Linda really shouldn't go out without make-up
Since Linda's housework was done early today (thanks to Chim) she decided to treat herself to breakfast at Panera.  She sat outside on the portico to have coffee and read.  It was so chilly that she wished she had a sweater!  A few hours later she wasn't saying that though.  It got really hot, too hot to walk Penny.  They stayed in and played today.  She was the best girl, just like always.  No crying, fits or temper tantrums.  She ate her bottle and took 2 naps in the four hours Sarah was gone.  Penny is growing so fast.

Penny loved playing with her dress
 When Linda got home, she found that the Garden Gnome in our front yard did all the weeding while she was away!  Yay for Garden Gnomes.  This particular Gnome is very, very old.  He lived at Linda's Nanny's house in the 1930's and then moved to her Mom's house in the early 1950's.  Now he has been living at our house since 1985.  Maybe when Penny grows up he can live at her house too.  This is the first time he's ever weeded though.
