Sweet! I'm on Caradhras!

Er... welll....

Shwoa! Six foot drifts! Four inches in a 25 minute period! And I thought 6 inches in 4 hours was bad. We got about a foot it looks like.

Sigh, where are Aragorn and Boromir when you need them!

Strider worked at our driveway for quite a while. But then Boromir showed up on an ATV ("Where heads are at a loss, horsepower must serve, as they say in my neighborhood") and finished the driveway for us. We paid him in frozen venison; and he was pleased.

We've a little help as well with the drive. I suspect he was trained by Saruman though. It seems he requires peeling up a percentage of turf with each job, so by spring, if it's been a snowy winter, the driveway looks a little like the movie version of Isengard. And I don't mean the park in FoTR

So the walkways have become my look out, though I'm sure this guy wouldn't mind clearing them with his pick-up truck and blade!

WooooooT!!!! The citadel at the havens is CLOSED! UNBELIEVABLE! Another day by the cozy fire drinking Raefindel's coffee! HALLELUJAH!

Er, I mean, Another day shivering by the fire and waiting for Boromir to finish up with the, er, snow-shoving.

**dances the springle ring**

Coffee?

Hello My Friends

Here in the Northwest it's been around 55 and partly cloudy, until today. It's 62 and clear. For all intents and purposes, Spring seems to have arrived in the Elven Lands. The Malorn trees are in bloom and the pussywillows are purring. My Irises are 4 inches tall and the moles are doing their best to undermine my garden.

Unfortunately, my little elves are sick (they're half human ya know)and I'm trapped in the house.

Coffee's just not gonna do it for me this time! I need some FREEDOM!

Hullo, Miss Rae!

Thank you for the absolutely lovely card and bookmark I recieved the other day.

I fully intend to write you via snail mail ASAP.

So sorry to hear the little Elflings aren't well.

I hope they are all better, soon!
