DESK HOBBITON!!!

This is a hobbity tableau I put together on my desk at work with little metal Ringbearers. Note the hobbity outhouse they have. Wonder how long it took them to get a permit for that . . .



Experimenting with emailing pics--working on it.

Happy belated Birthday to ibilover!!! Here is your promised spam. A collection of some of the fauna I saw this year around Greenbelt Lake:


A pair of wood ducks in the early spring.

Happy Birthday to Bilbo, Frodo, and especially, oft forgotten, early draft Bingo!!!

I went on a very Shire-like hike on Saturday morning in the Middle Patuxent Environmental Area in Howard County, and saw some things that should accompany the Bagginess on all their hikes.


Woods full of ferns and mosses gentle on the feet.

A very belated bonus birthday spam for my dear friend claudia603:

I will take it! I will take the ring to Mordor . . .



. . . though I do not know the way . . .

. . . to the litter box. Saki just has that determined but anxious look there, don't she?

And some mermaids and Frood (decoupage by lbilover) for you. These are 2 beloved books of my childhood, more for the pics than the narratives themselves, really. I knew and loved the collection on the left that was in my grade school library, and my mom hunted down this copy for me when it was no longer in print--a really lovely gift.



You will notice that the pics were taken on your birthday. So maybe instead of thinking of this as a belated wish, here's wishing you a bonus birthday celebration from the Bonus Birthday Fairy! :-D

Happy Birthday, Bilbo, Frodo, and Bingo! And cake to all who love them!

On dearclaudia603's birthday . . .


May Stern Rangers always spring ill, Beautiful Hobbits from the Bree Town Jail . . .
