amyrlis has just left Hobbiton.

I'm re-reading The Fellowship now and recently went through the part where the Hobbits embark into the old Forest. Merry speaks of a time when the trees "planted themselves" right up against the hedge, in light of the hobbits' attempts to keep them back. So, the hobbits, um, let me see if I can remember correctly - the hobbits hewed down all the trees within a certain distance of the fence and burned them in a big bonfire. The bonfire glade never grew trees in it again. Anyway, could that row of trees that planted itself up against the hedge have been Ent-wives? How sad if they liked the Shire and wanted to be as close to it as they could get, but met their tragic fate instead. Well, just throwing that out as a thought.
