What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Late afternoon/early evening thunderstorms (so long as you're not caught outside in the middle of one). I think the one going on right now may be one of the loudest I've experienced. Not to mention the heavy rain and wind. It's amazing.

Ditto this. I had the amazing experience of waking up in the middle of the night last night to the feeling of mist/rain spraying at me through my open window. Through a gap in the window shade, I could see heat lightening flickering. There's something about watching a storm from bed, in the dark.

Congrats Nerwen!

And a solar eclipse is cool! We had one in -90 and even if it was cloudy the sudden darkening of everything, the silence of the birds, the settling down of the wind... that was awesome!

Also I would assign to Shire a hearty onion soup made with time and care! And some Chablis to go down with it. Just perfect for a summer evening!

The perfect shade of red on my lips in my lovely graduation photos. Even without Photoshop, I think I look gorgeous! Even a Noldorin princess, perhaps.

Those are very good photos!

Bonding with unexpected family members over even more unexpected things. It shouldn't surprise me... I have a large family, and plenty of things to bond over...

But if I'd picked an aunt to end up talking to just about every day, it probably wouldn't have been this one. But that's quite all right with me.

Silent Retreats.

Not only is silence golden, but being told that the RULE is to avoid the Internet is about the only effective way to stop me grumbling under my breath that it isn't working.

Besides all of which, I've been waiting two-three months to detox a bit after the summer.

Unrelatedly save in terms of time:

Weather cooling off and the smell of rain simultaneously.
