My little hobbitlass and I have finally made our way into the Old Forest and to the Bonfire Glade. I have always been intrigued by the story of the Bonfire Glade. Just think...trees were attacking the hedge! I hope the trees in my yard don't any funny ideas.

They do say the trees do actually move, and can surround strangers and hem them in. In fact long ago they attacked the Hedge: they came and planted themselves right by it, and leaned over it. But the hobbits came and cut down hundreds of trees, and made a great bonfire in the Forest, and burned all the ground in a long strip east of the Hedge. After that the trees gave up the attack, but they became very unfriendly. There is still a wide bare space not far inside where the bonfire was made.'
