...yikers, nosebleed prices....

I'll stick to building a flet. Although a hobbit-hole with a flet above would be perfect.

Still, we've promised our boys a tree-house. No Mallorns... But, there's a big pine on our North side that should do well.

Still haven't found my old twine bowstring for the black longbow. But we did get a brown recurve, inching up on the draw weight (longbow is 30#, recurve is 35#... a yeoman I'm not...) so I'm shooting the recurve, and will try to get a string made for the black longbow when I can... My husband and son are going hi-tech (Matthews, Genesis). Husband (Strider) and elder son (Name the Elf... inching towards 'Legolas'...) are both sooting faithfully every day-- but not me. I've been too achy lately. I hoe it's not another round of Lyme disease--

-- but that's what it feels like. Ech.
