I know, I know, I know....it’s Spring, but this doesn’t LOOK like Spring! No one wanted a ton of snow in April, but we have to admit that it IS pretty! Thanks to Mieke Bolt who captured this beauty along the Slate River (Hanna Road).

Dodd-Smith paipoonge.on.ca

Once there was a small gnome who lived in a village of the wee ones. He was happy and content; but sometimes he got bored. When the gnome got bored he liked to go camping in the forest. One day the gnome went camping. Hmmm, he thought. I think I will collect some pine cones from by the river. So the little gnome set off up the path to the river. After two minutes he came across some moss. Hmm I think I will use this moss for my bed and walls. So he picked some and carried on. Next he came across some twigs. Hmmm I think I will collect some to hold my roof up. So he picked up the twigs and carried on. Soon, he could hear the rushing of water. The stream was up ahead. The gnome set up the twigs like a tent and laid some moss on top. Next he lined the outside with the pine cones. But then he heard a sob. He went outside and found a gnome sitting there. What's the matter? asked the little gnome. I'm lost and it's getting dark said the gnome. Oh dear. Well, you can stay with me over there. So they went inside to the moss beds and fell asleep. The next morning they set off and found the village and became friends. After that they went on many trips together. They lived happily ever after.
