Gnome in the tree




Cutting down a tree for the mother of my daughter’s friend. I was trying to get the branches teamed first. When I cut off the branch that was growing over the driveway I spotted this little guy looking at me. I stopped and told the woman she had a gnome living in the tree we were cutting down. Little was I to know she was very superstitious and made me stop cutting on the tree. If you drive by her house still today, you’ll see the tree just the way I left

He's such a sad looking gnome...but I have a feeling he was smiling after you stopped cutting! :)

You seem to have a talent with the supernatural when working with wood!
The knome story is also amusing!

I thought you were about to say that the woman says she sees a gnome every now and then. :)

I had a time trying to see the gnome Ellis, but I finally got it :) People are funny when it comes to superstitions.

What's her address? I'll see if the guy who keeps trying me to hop on the back of his bike would mind stopping by.

We´re a few countries away, so it might take a while....

It took me a while to make out the gnome but I finally did--he is sad looking.

It's hard for me to believe there are still people that are so superstitious in the world--seemingly intelligent too...

Oh, well. Enjoyed your little story here, Ellis. Thanks.

Talon:
I was ready to cut a slice and save it. The other half of the limb that got cut off did not have him on it.

Snaggle Tooth:
I seem to spot things other people seem to miss. Yet I have had my share of ghost.

The woman thought that red center was the Gnomes heart I had cut into.

I like to look outside the box more than in it. I have a lot more room to roam.
