Thanks to Bethberry' s note on FB, I was able to enjoy a tribute to the man who provided my mythos and the Legendarium in which I remain most comfortable.

Cheers, Professor. Grace and peace.

A Birthday Toast:

Here’s to Tolkien,
And here’s to you and me.
If perchance we disagree
On Middle-earth canonically,
Hell with you, here’s to Tolkien and me.

To the Professor! I raised a glass of Moscato Spumante, together with my husband & sons.

through whom is splintered from a single White
to many hues, and endlessly combined
in living shapes that move from mind to mind.

There are two pre-eminent feasts in the Barrow-downer year: Bilbo & Frodo's Birthday and Tolkien's birthday, and the latter of these is upon us. Break out the toasting glasses and something nice to drink this evening.

I will be toasting with my traditional mimosa.

How about some birthday cakes for the occasion?
