Well - it's over for this little family of gnomes.
First thing I noticed is one of them turned into an evil looking gnome and it seems to be the Gnome of Death. A bit like the Gnome Grim Reaper. It moved around them and now it looks like they are all gone. Lots of little gold statues.
In the meantime, one of the Sims fished a Magical Gnome of Invention out of the Wishing Well.
Here are the last few pictures of this gnome story - which I'm sure will continue with a new family of gnomes about to appear???
Fall arrived so I closed up the greenhouse. Don't want the plants in there to go dormant.
The elderly gnomes gathered out front for a get-together.
While many of the old gnomes were enjoying the sun, a few were in the back room where the swimming pool, tree of prosperity and wishing well are - along with a few other things.
Grace decided to have a home birth and found she had a gnome for company.
Baby Janice arrived with the brave and disciplined traits.
The old gnomes spent some time examining the Chicken Coop.
Grace's mother, Ebony made a wish for happiness while the gnomes watched silently.
Look closely in this image above. At the back of the picture, near the swimming pool there is a dark gnome without a cane. I think he is the baby gnome I was so happy to have. I didn't see him being a teenager - unless that was him being a teenager when he was lying around all white and I thought he must be a child.
I think he may also be in the other pictures above with the chicken coop, but he is partly hidden by other gnomes so I can't really tell for sure.
This next image is the first close up I got of him. I think it must have been on the night of the full moon.
