Reply #149: It depends on what part of the country you're in.

In Florida, California, and the southern states, the flamingos are in season year round. However, they do not appreciate cold weather, and should be taken indoors in the winter in states where it snows.

Garden Gnomes, on the other hand, may be used in all weather. If it gets too cold or hot, they simply retreat into their little cottages built into the trunks of trees. They're very clever, those gnomes. They disguise the entrances to their homes so well, you'd never notice them.

Sadly, however, gnome predators are on the increase, as you can see in the photo I posted. That has caused the demise of many garden gnomes, so they're seen less frequently these days.
