The Story Behind Fried Gnome

Many emails came in after I posted "Fried Gnome" yesterday....

(on Toujours & FlickR)

I will share the simple little story.

YES.

The fried egg was real.

I fried it in butter and let it cool before

taking it out to place on Gnomes hat.

It was a greasy mess I tell you

and I do not know if that huge butter/grease mark

will ever wash out of Gnomes hat.

When I was finished with the Fried Gnome shots....

I took the egg to the patio,

you know what I was after....

a simple fried egg on the sidewalk shot.

but I had company.

Garf the cat, sat in the boxwood's and watched me.

Naughty cat......

I gave him a chance to have a real breakfast for once,

but all he did was look

at the cold, heart shaped egg, cooked in butter

and

sitting on a wilted old piece of wax paper.

Naughty cat.

When Larry came home from work,

I could not wait to show him my shots.

He did laugh,

and said.....

naughty cat.

Have a good day,

stay cool and try to behave.

Love you beyond the butter.
