Last year we had the pine tree in the front yard taken down.
(Not the fir tree that later fell on the garage in February! Ha - had we known....)
The tree-fallers left us a stump in a shape that would lend itself to making a Gnome House. After all, we heard there were homeless gnomes, too.
We finally got the required permits, materials and time to construct said gnome house,
and quickly found a tenant for it.

He seems a nice enough fellow and enjoys the Seattle Seahawks (we thought), as we do.
.
We were a bit anxious about his affinity for magic mushrooms, tho.
We provided a satellite dish, so the fellow could watch the games.
Alas, even though he said he was a "12" (Seahawk fan),
we got reports that there were raucous parties being held on the weekends
.
We found then that he had sublet the bird house to a Patriot blue bird
who had brought his friend along: a cardinal from St Louis.

Not acceptable.

We attempted to discuss this with Mr. Gnome,
