We have exhausted the resources of this small patch of green, but we feel so much better! We have even begun speaking more easily with each other. I don't know if I will ever be forgiven, but I also must remind myself that I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought that I could help us all by cooperating with the Gnomes.
