That just seems to be too 'untidy' for elves. Not all are of Peter Jackson's ilk who let leaves blow all about the place. And I think that Sauron, in the Third Age, released 'slip and fall' loyers/lawyers, and they looked to litigate whenever possible...why else did Galadriel and Elrond sail on the Last Ship? To escape judgment, methinks.

Seriously, I thought Mallorns did not drop their leaves? Am I wrong?

So still our songs in Mirkwood say. My heart would be glad if I were beneath the eaves of that wood, and it were springtime!'

And in regards to quilts, Lothlorien must have some immense closets!
