"100 Degrees Until Halloween" Day 9~ Saviour Gnome.

I guess the lesson here is, whilst amidst this summer photography project, don't invite me over unless you are willing to have a picture taken...today's pic comes courtesy of my friend Sarah.  It was her turn to host book club (in case you are wondering we "read" The Wind-Up Girl, our theme this year is "dystopia") and this is her sits-out-in-the-hot-sun-all-year-round gnome.  I can only assume it was his idea to add the "safety ladders" (as seen in the background) that saves both birds and lizards from drowning in their pool.  Ingenious!  (Really, it is Sarah and her husband, Nathan that are the smart ones...the gnome should get no credit).  But I am a bit gnome fascinated lately...Happy Sunday!  It's fricking hot and getting hotter (108 predicted for this week).  And, oh, it's only Day NINE!!!!!!!!!!
