I've often wondered just what Garden gnomes actually do. Whenever I see one it's just sitting there in someone's garden doing nothing at all. Well, Scruffy, Milkshake and I decided to run an experiment to try and get an answer. We picked a beautiful spot near a path in a garden bed near the big duckpond on Hamilton Island and settled down to watch and wait. The only things that we saw were some people going along the path to picnic spots, a couple of lizards sunning themselves on the paving stones, and some small birds hunting insects among the plants. If that is the sort of thing that garden gnomes see they must have a boring life. I will stick to doing the things that our gang of three small critters do.
