Flock? Herd? Gaggle...ooh I like Gaggle better.
A Gaggle of Gnomes has moved in. Certain people fancy them here, so I thought I'd share. 
They are cute.
I'm just warning you.
Some are kinda restful...guess they had a long journey.
I don't believe they are known as being lazy...so I think they are just tired.
Sitting....
Then again...they are in repose a lot...Hmmmmm
Here we go, this guy is awake.
Dignified Gentleman Gnome
Redneck Gnome? Is there such a thing?
He looks like we just caught him taking veggies from the garden. 
...and a sweet Little Lady Gnome to say adieu.

I'm not a great lover of garden gnomes but you have some rather unusual ones there Chitweed that I've never seen before. I quite like the one that looks as though he's been caught stealing!!!

My father has started a collection of gnomes for me this spring, although I have to say they arent aquiet as unusual as yours.
I also love the one that looks like he got caught stealing something from the garden. maybe you should check his pockets ?
Nice Collection !!

Hm, perhaps a giggle of gnomes? They look like a very charming bunch, I happen to know the lady gnome's twin sister very well, as I'm the one who persuaded her to come live in my Mom's garden. She is doing nicely, lives in a converted little doghouse under a fir tree surrounded by bluebells.

A Giggle of Gnomes. I like it.
I understand Gnomes reproduce very well...at least they do at work.
I wouldn't be surprised if that little girl gnome has hundreds of twins!. 
With the nice set up you've provided, she might invite family. Be careful!

That gaggle is quite nice. I sorta prefer the stately old gentleman waving the walking stick. The way that he is gesturing it, I wonder if there is any magic in it. Better keep an eye on him.
