Good morning

Ironically, it is Sleepy with the blue hat who leaps up out, of the ground singing, first in the morning.

...

Sleepy: Hi Ho, Hi, ho, it's off to work we go...

Petunia: Be off with you.

Sleepy: There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow. The corn is as high as an elephant's eye, And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky. Oh, what a beautiful Mornin' Oh, what a beautiful day. I've got a beautiful feelin' Everything's goin' my way.

Petunia: No need to make such a song and dance about it. It's so out of character for you. Makes me think there might be a typhoon or summat coming on.

Garden Gnomes

There. The petunias and marigolds herald spring.

Gnomes too?

Of course. Can’t have a garden, no matter what size, without a gnome.

Some people have a thing about gnomes in gardens. Like they're a symbol of suburbia.

I have no prejudices.

You’re not afraid that someone will kidnap your gnome?

And send him around the world? Like the gnome from Sydney who left a note for his owner: "Dear mum, couldn't stand the solitude any longer. Gone off to see the world. Don't be worried, I'll be back soon. Love Bilbo xxx." As long as he sends me photos to show me where he is I won’t worry.
