NOVEMBER 2002 WWGA NEWZLETTER
Welcome new members...
Now for our lesson in Astrology, I present Madam Gemini and her companion Poo
Poo consults Madam Gemini, whom she
calls GiGi
Madam GiGi and Poo discuss Sagittarius
Poo:
GiGi, I know most gnomes have a happy nature because they are
independent and thereby disinclined to worry and fritter over
many things that would cause trouble and create problems. And I
have heard that Piskeys are in many ways the opposite of gnomes
in this respect. However, I have a Piskey friend that has a
personality more like that of a gnome. Do you think it has
something to do with my Piskey friend being born under the sign
of Sagittarius? GiGi: Why Poo you amaze me
with your knowledge. You are certainly learning more about the
signs of the Zodiac. Those born under the sign of Sagittarius
are also often very carefree but adhere to honesty so I can
imagine a Piskey born under this sign actually being considered
very different to their "Piskey" relatives. Poo:
Yes, my Piskey friend is often misunderstood by other Piskeys
because of his honest, straight forward approach. Most of his
relatives lead prankish, but useful existences. They are however
always exceedingly merry much like my gnome friends. GiGi: It is
precisely for this reason that they are ruled by Jupiter and
their sign is that of the bowman - one who always aims for the
highest standards. I must tell you about the gnome who
challenged the Greek Gods Sagittarius .... and Jupiter ... to a
match Poo can be seen in her full beauty at www.bobbiesfaeriehugs.com/Poo.htm
 Gnomes, Huts, and
Treehouses
- I came across this site which offers
individually handcrafted (wooden) gnomes, huts and treehouses
for miniature gnomes. They say that no two are exactly the same. The
pictures on the site are very inspirational for all miniature
enthusiasts! It will also interest members involved in creating
gnome homes.

“ PROPOSAL ”
Let’s all plant a new tree in behalf of
Nature and of our dear Gnome Friends. In order for all of us to do it the same day, I think it would be a good
idea if a special day is chosen. How about November 30th,
the last day of the month. We can even name it…….”GNOME TREE
DAY ”

Visit my Thanksgiving Site at: http://www.foundus.com/thanksgiving/index.html READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Preparing for Winter Solstice 
Here in the Northern Hemisphere gnomes are busy preparing for
winter and their winter solstice celebrations (not to be
confused with the Christian Christmas Celebrations which happen
on December 25th).
The beginning of winter commences
on the shortest day of the year, usually December 21st in
the Northern Hemisphere which for centuries has been known as
the Winter Solstice.
Gnomes are filling their family larders with winter
supplies. Gnomettes and Nanas are busy mending
blankets and weaving soft rabbit fur and woolen cloth which they
use for blankets and clothing. They check their herb supplies
and medical boxes in the event of an accident or illness. Grandpa
is collecting lots of nettle for his pipe and carving a new
table ornament. Gnombies are busy collecting, seeds and
fallen leaves for their pet mice; and pine needles for the
kinder box.
Forest gnomes go about making sure the hidden
food niches of forest animals are well stocked; and
keeping records of where animals, especially squirrels,
store their supplies. Squirrels have a nack for forgetting where
they stash their food provisions.
Barn gnomes are very busy too making sure
farmers are aware of anything unusual happening to new crops of
hay and grain. One method gnomes use is to push bales
of hay, that have started to mold, right out of hay mows! They
also help teach, and prepare, that year's newborn animals for
the upcoming hardships of winter.
Mountain gnomes visit with forest animals
collecting useful information to assist them in keeping the
animals safe. They pay particular attention to the bears who
hibernate during the winter. Female bears give birth to their
young during this sleep time; fortunately gnomes consider
it a very important duty to ensure that the babies know where to
find nourishment. Each gnome has a territory to traverse and
many dens to visit.
While
gnomes residing in the Northern Hemisphere prepare for Winter, I wonder
what our cousins in the Southern Hemisphere are busy doing?
Gnome
Cuisine - Exotic Teas
Gnomes often have exotic teas
prepared and stored in their larders.
Some are very strange looking indeed. Unlike our modern day tea
bags gnome teas are steamed leaves rolled into tiny green
balls then dried and stored. One ball produces a very large pot
of tea for gnomes!
There is one tea consumed by
humans that is made in the same manner called, FORMOSA
GUNPOWDER GREEN TEA. This is a 100% pure
steamed green tea. It has surprising body and a captivating
green tea taste similar to Jasmine. This gunpowder produces a nice
green brew with a memorable fragrance and a long lasting finish.
Legend has it that the name Gunpowder was given to it by a young
English clerk who thought the tiny rolled green balls looked
like gunpowder, but perhaps gnomes had a hand in its production.
Gunpowder tea comes from the province of Zhejiang China and from
Taiwan. Gunpowder teas are rolled into tight nuggets. Boiling
water causes them to open up like flowers and sink slowly to the
bottom in graceful patterns which add a dimension of visual
pleasure to tea drinking. This tea can be used repeatedly – 3
times. If you want to try some of this exotic tea it can be
ordered from Anne-Marie Leroux. Email: sunsetgardens@hotmail.com (50
gram bag for $4.95 Canadian).
Gnome Health - Gnomes
believe honey to be a good source of
disease-fighting antioxidants. They choose the darkest-colored
honey, such as buckwheat honey, because it tends to be the
richest source of dietary antioxidants. Gnomes always use honey as
sweetener in their exotic teas. Many teas are blended from
plants high in vitamin C to keep away winter maladies and
reduce stress. Tip:
Keep honey and exotic teas handy for those
stressful days...but don't be surprised to find tracks of
honey on your countertops...during times of shortage
gnomes are known to visit human homes to obtain some of this
liquid gold!
The first bulletin company went under.....the second, the one you've been seeing had tons of pop-ups and it was a pain...so Darren aka Rainshadow made us one using frontpage extensions.......and now we have a lovely new one without pop-ups. AND we can import pictures and write in color and Bold the type...But some has to be done using HTML (the fancy stuff) there is a FAQ which is a HELP on how to do the fancy stuff, so if you feel adventurous, go for it....
