The Gnomes on the Stairs

I'm not sure what is going on, but the resident condo gardener did not collect his accoutrements yet.  I was a little worried that some of them might crack or get ruined with the cold weather kicking in, so this happened:

I'm not really a gnome person, but they do look really cute out in the garden.  And now they are going to spend the winter inside my house.

(Yes, my steps need dusting.  I swear, my wood floors collect dust like nothing I've ever seen.  Would it have been smart to do it before I took the picture?  Yes, but I never professed to be smart about things like this.  At least I'm not trying to sell this picture on Etsy or something.)
