welcome, gus!

after many months of searching, we finally found him. please welcome gus to the garden! a weekend in leavenworth led us to this little guy.

pictured here, he's standing guard over the strawberry patch. i'm sure we'll periodically move him to watch over other crops, but he looks quite content in this shot.

said to be industrious nature-lovers, gnomes believe they are responsible for the earth, therefore, they care and nurture all living things with dedicated fervor. rosy-cheeked, smartly dressed and standing at attention, gus, the original garden gnome is the standard to which all gnomes aspire.

i found the above passage on a gardening website and thought it was hilarious. but in all seriousness, we're quite happy to welcome gus.
