Desert Gnomes

For those of you who enjoyed the glimpse of a little Mount Horeb, WI in the Arizona desert (uh, I mean golf course!) here's a few more from the series. Note that these are heirloom gnomes, hand painted by the Chef's mom back in the day.

The watermelon-holding-girl below has seen better days. The hot sun does not help her bright colors and it is rumored that she was vandalized by the renters next door. Children are not allowed to stay in Sun Lakes (it's an old people only zone) so they were not only bad renters, they were illegal underage gnome wreckers.


Here's the actual Gnome View from Sun Lakes. Note the bubbling fountain, and the golf cart in the background. Sometimes windows need to be replaced because golf balls fly off course. All this retirement relaxing can be dangerous.

Only our dear Haus Frau could treat us all to such delicious phrases as "illegal underage gnome wreckers". Thank you for the blast of sunshine!

Hee hee. What else can you do but giggle when you see a smile like that?
