Joseph Raymond the Gnome Gets a "Bath"

Peter Rabbit, Lily Bobtail, and Benjamin Bunny feel sorry for Joseph Raymond the Gnome.  He has none of the cheerful colors of his cousin, John Percival!


Lily Bobtail thinks a bath is in order.  The bird poop must go!
Joseph Raymond has never had a bath...just "rain showers".


Lily Bobtail also hopes Joseph Raymond's colors return.

Later...
 The Bunny Friends get to work and Joseph Raymond seems to enjoy getting all spruced up.


 Lily Bobtail suggests the Friends go home for lunch and by the time they return, hopefully the sunshine will bring back Joseph Raymond's colors.
The spic and span Gnome will take a nap until his Friends come back.  This cleaning up affair has suddenly made Joseph Raymond very tired.

A few minutes later...
 Betsy, Rusty, Rosie, and their friend Bobby wonder what Joseph Raymond the Gnome is doing in this puddle.  


Betsy has an idea!  This handsome Gnome is seriously in need of some color and Betsy has just the paints to do the job.


 Bobby will ask his buddies to help him move Joseph Raymond to Betsy's backyard.  The Gnome appears to be in a deep sleep and Bobby knows Gnome naps can last for days!


 Rusty and Rosie hope their Gnome Friend can live in their backyard forever.
Every family needs a Gnome of their own.

After lunch...
The Bunny Friends cannot believe their eyes!  Where is Joseph Raymond?  They wonder if the Gnome is sleep-walking somewhere!
