Santa Gnome

Do you hear what I hear? A faint tinkling of a tiny bell? Yes! I do believe I’m hearing the tinkling of Santa Gnomes star-bell, it has such a specific sound. Oh yes…there is no doubt, truly it’s the tiny bell that hangs from Santa Gnomes rosy-red and golden star-hat. I’m excitedly sure of that!

Quick! Hide away and watch him at his work. Look at him go! Here, there and everywhere! He has no time to waste as his little legs dance around without making any haste.

A small, furry, gray mouse checks every Christmas bow, to see that it is fastened tight, he knows the winds can kick up at a moment’s notice, sending all the beautiful bows tumbling off into the winter snows.

Watching from a distance in the star-filled night are a gnome-man, a small fox and a bitty-bird who is singing out with Christmas delight.

Snuggled down in the snow next to the joyous Christmas tree, is a snow white bunny who has found a taste of Christmas glee!

Santa Gnome has magically finished all his work and he’s off, as he turns his head with a quick jerk. Tinkle, tinkle goes the tiny star-bell as Santa Gnome shouts out “Merry Christmas to all and to all be well!”

Bringing In The Christmouse Cheer.

Spumoni and Pistachio have arrived home to their charmingly embellished, little cabin with its candles all a glow. Pistachio has enjoyed his ride on the little sled which also holds a small tree to decorate for Christmas, also known as Christmouse in these parts.

It seems that they’ve done some Christmas shopping too. Oh I wonder if there are special treats for a Christmas party and look at all the lovely wrapped gifts for some special little mice.

Pistachio has found a large candy cane for adding to cookies and cocoa…oh what a wonderful treat for them and Santa Paws.

Out in the front yard, standing on his own is a cute little snow-mouse. It would seem that Pistachio has dressed this cute snow creature in some of his finest sock-mittens, red ear muffs and a darling green scarf. How adorable is that!

Gently falls the snow while off in the distance stands the small village of Tufton where many other mouse souls are busy getting ready for the holidays…yes all are busy bringing in the Christmouse cheer.

I do hope that this holiday season finds you happy and healthy while filled with love, joy, sweetness and most of all the peace of Christmas.

So let the party start and bring in the Christmouse cheer….

Bless the turkey, such a tender roast beast.

Pass the mashed potatoes, it’s time to feast.

Let’s give a shout for the beautiful, green, brussel sprouts!

Buttery rolls of bread, oh how we love all their yummy aromas that float about our head.

Cranberry sauce is so rich in crimson colors and flavors, such a glorious side dish or to some a wonderful dessert to delight in and savor.

Let us not forget a sparkling glass of cranberry-grape cider, I just gnome your Thanksgiving would not be complete or that much brighter, without a glass of sparkling cider.

Bless you all and may your Thanksgiving be one of your happiest moments this lovely fall….

Gathering

Raking and gathering leaves as they fall,
Placing them where they will best be kept, 
The Tinker’s gnome just what to do,
They will cover the roots of the trees and plants where winter will try to push through.

These happy little gnomes are nature’s friend, 
They keep working to prepare a place, 
For all the small creatures who’ll win the November race.

Yes, there is so much gathering of leaves to do,
Are you gathering this month too?

So put on your hats, boots and mittens,
Grab your rakes and wheelbarrows before you are cold bitten,
Because winter is coming...this I know,
Winter is coming, November tells you so.

Gather here,
Gather there,
There truly is not much time to spare.

Be like the Tinker’s and spread out a warm blanket of leaves,
Place them gently beneath all the trees.

Hurry! 
Hurry!
Not much time to spare!
Gathering up all the leaves,
Before they are blown up into the November air!

Benny Bunny

All dressed up for a summer dinner delight, is Benny Bunny in his bow tie of blue and white stripes. 

The last golden day of summer is about to sink away into the crisp days of fall, but before it does, Benny will be sinking his teeth into these delicious, vibrant orange carrots without stall.

Butterflies flutter about his head, dancing from glorious summer flowers and stems that surround Benny in his lovely summer dining den.

Benny will nibble and chew his way to the end of this day, giving not a thought to the fall world that will soon be on display. 

His whiskers will twitch and wriggle as Benny enjoys each sublime bite, he hasn’t a care while he enjoys his dinner delight.

Soon the sun will set and Benny will bounce away, off into the night, which will be followed by the rising of a beautiful autumn day….

Oh Koi

Oh to be a Koi...swimming around all day with such joy!

Chasing dragonflies as they quickly swoop by, their tails touch the water to tease you as you tread water, mouth open wide hoping to catch that teasing dragonfly inside.

Gently float the lilies above your golden head, their pastel pink petals softly open up to the sun, while the lilies cool themselves on the water’s aqua blue bed.

Dipping and diving into the water’s cool depths, no place can keep you from your investigation, for the water’s you search are your liquid nation.

Oh to be a Koi...swimming around all day with such joy! Oh to be a Koi….
