Context: the day before, we were chatting in front of my rock garden. She said the mounds of plants always remind her of hobbit homes, and she could imagine little characters made out of acorns.

Me: these are amazing! You made my day!
Her: I didn't know if you would like them. A lot of people don't like this kind of stuff. 
Me: well, a lot of people suck. 
Her: true 😂

To put them in context, they're circled in red in this picture of the overall garden.

They're ephemeral. By this afternoon, one had been dismembered by squirrels. And taking a picture of its remains, I'm noticing even more detail that she put into them. The red boots made of leaves! I was resigned to letting nature take its course, but when my husband got home, he brought the survivors in to keep them safe overnight. I guess we'll rearrange them each morning.
