What do you "assign" to the Shire?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Magnets. Magnets belong in the Shire. Who can fail to be entertained by them? You can take them and click them together to make fun noises. You can set one on a desk and one under it and make them zoom around playfully. You can clean up paperclips and nails and sort metal from paper in seconds with almost no effort. But the best part is sitting and trying to force together the opposing sides of two really powerful magnets. It... just... won't.... work.........

And I send my best friend at school for knowing me well enough that instead of candy or something "typical" of souveniers, she brought me magnetic rocks and glow-in-the-dark nail polish.

The silhouette of a cat in the window over yonder. It is so unbelievably lovely and cool. I could just watch it for hours. And I just might...

Also, water. I know that the Shire already has water but I think we all need to stop and truly appreciate how brilliant water is. I mean, you can drink it and it makes you feel good. You can bathe and splash and sing in it. It truly is a noble thing (and not just water hot). You can also half-fill a bucket with water and place it on the top of a door so that it falls on the person who opens the door. That's amazing fun! Plus, rain and rivers and oceans are beautiful.

Shire, don't take thy water for granted!

Baseball.....I am very certain that the hobbits would make excellent baseball players. It is one of the few sporting events where the clock plays no part, and I can't imagine hobbits measuring their happiness with a timepiece.

Maybe they would have played it rather like rounders, the older version of baseball. It's great fun, especially when you have to slide on the grass to get to a post and end up with mucky knees, and you can play it just about anywhere. I remember playing it with a plank and a stone once in the field at the back of our house, with twigs to mark out the posts. I often wonder if the game would have died out altogether if it had not developed into Baseball in the US?

I assign the first real snowfall of the seasoon, even if it didn't stick.

A little late, I know, but the full moon definitely deserves assignment to the Shire. It's just... *sigh* ...beautiful. I could spend hours upon hours gazing fixatedly at it.

*howls*

Several slightly planned hours of dreamless sleep deserve Shire-mentioning. Though it's a little sad about missing those classes that I slept through, the well-rested and content feeling that comes from waking up without the headache you fell asleep with is wonderful.
