Austin ModHouse

about a week ago we had a violent hail and electrical storm roll through the area.  our plants suffered hail damage as did some of our cars.  many trees in the area just couldn't stand up any longer.

if you check this link over at austintreehouse.com you will see pics of the lightning and hans dare ga-nome shining through the storm.  it must have been frightening for him to go through the storm all alone.  we are compassionate people so we rallied and put forth an effort to rid him of his gnome solitude.

kat was first up and quickly found a spot of shade.  note how faded hans has become under the harsh texas sun.  no worry, this is also a maintanence trip.

the view back from where we hiked.  you can see our red excursion PSD way over there. 

three little dare ga-nome friends for hans!  hans also got a fresh coat of paint finished off with a UV filtering clear polyurethane.  we hope this retards his fading.

duncan's humans were out of town for the weekend.  he came along fo the hike.  mom shared her water with him.

a final pic of hans and his gnome family.

they look so happy.
