Oh what a lovely day in our corner of ME! Got up in the 70’s, hard to believe after snow on Sunday! The peepers are out and making a deafening noise and flowers are just starting to bloom.

Never fear vanwalossien, spring is coming and the Dead Marshes will come alive, (egads what a thought). Let me rephrase that. They will be green once more!

My young hobbit walking companion almost did a Frodo falls head first into the bog the other day. It was a reenactment I vigorously discouraged, especially on blustery wet mornings! She likes to startle Mom.

Tonight we were out past nightfall walking. She was kicking a rock along until it was lost in the gloom and she almost kicked a frog by mistake! We walked rather carefully after that, glad to be wearing shoes….

Feet and muscles are doing surprisingly well, but shins are another matter. I had thought it was the cold weather but after today that theory has been discarded.

Wow, the list of “All About You” stuff will take a chunk of time to figure out. Some I don’t have to think about, but so many entail difficult decisions. I’ll have to save it for a rainy day or take it out with me to ponder. Hmm…where would I settle for winter? Tough one…..Pipes… I don’t suppose you mean plumbing? I do love plumbing, particularly the indoor variety. Profession...I would say cobbler but I imagine I'd starve to death!

Yikes, Helen your going to be in Rivendell before summer! Forty Miles? Keep up the good work. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Be safe, rest up and have a good day tomorrow folks!
