Elfie asked if he could help with chores today. Guess he felt a little guilty about eating all our pecan treats. I am not sure if he felt guilty before or after I shared his escapades on Facebook??? Either way, he did help me feed Buttercup and Dandelion.
All was going just fine until some Chick ran up and grabbed Elfie by his hat and took off across the yard with him. This is one of those times I’m grateful not to have neighbors. No one needs to peer out their kitchen blinds and watch me running across the yard yelling at some Chick, to leave my elf alone. I’m sure if I lived in the city, this would earn me a white jacket with extra-long arms.

The whole event was like some parody of Miley Cyrus doing a backyard cover of some Dolly Parton song. This Chick came in like a wrecking ball, snatched my elf and ran. I’m certain her name was Jolene. The whole incident left me singing the blues. It sounded a lot like this...” Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of you please don’t take my elf. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him just because you can.”
As I was gaining on Jolene, she decided to drop Elfie and head out to the asparagus bed for a dust bath. Elfie was a bit shaken, but no worse for wear. I promised to share any and all treats I receive for Christmas with him to help settle his nerves. I told Elfie he will not need to sneak them. So, anyone that wants to send treats to Elfie, I’m happy to retrieve them from the mailbox for him, because he’s not tall enough to reach. That’s what friends do for friends. Message me for Elfie’s address if needed. He is not picky, but is especially partial to fudge, peanut brittle, and Snicker Doodle cookies with the chocolate kiss in the middle. Just saying.
