It works that way. The gnomes are devious little bastards, and the rabbits are their cat’s paw.

I’m still puzzled over the backyard issue. From the time I was about the age of MO, my dad would gather up my brothers and myself, point out back, and say “I don’t want to see anything but assholes and elbows” before sending us out to weed and trim for the rest of day. I mean, aren’t tedious chores the reason to have kids in the first place?

My yard and pool area is designed for shade. For years, I could not use the pool. But then, spring of 2008 I bought (despite hubby’s protestations) 2 of those offset umbrellas.

Presto – Shade on the deck. Shade in the pool. Shade shade shade.

Now we can swim no matter what the time of day!

I think the bunnies ate the elves. The gnomes told them to.

I DO think this would work! Today isn’t good, but as long as you have a shady spot for me to lounge (due to new tattoos after tonight!) I’m IN!

Magical elves and garden gnomes are bitter enemies. You’ve brought this on yourself!

I’m confused. You say the list is endless… you mean there are actually some lists that END? Other than grocery lists (and their ends only last a week at MOST)? Hah – I don’t believe it. Not one bit.

I think your gnomes are preventing the elves from getting in.

oh gosh – I share your pain.

come bring your kids swimming. You can watch while *I* do my stuff. Then the next day, you can just drop them off for a couple of hours!

Seriously. It would work!
