The import of Autumn - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

As the sky turns a clearer, deeper blue, and as the air becomes refreshing and keen...

I find myself pondering longer walks, and perhaps choosing an oak branch to attatch a leather strap to for a walking staff.

I find myself reconsidering the woolen cloaks I made long ago (pretending of course theat they were from Lorien) and pondering the brooches I have already, and wondering whether one of the cloaks deserves a Lorien Brooch.

I find myself thinking that a brown velvety waistcoat and jacket might be a good investment.

I find myself wishing I had a few other hobbits to walk with once in a while.

And I find myself jealous of those people in California who are going to celebrate Frodo and Bilbo's birthday with a huge bash. If I have a celebration myself, it will more resemble the day before Frodo's departure, I am afraid; a humble meal, a quiet toast.

What Tolkienish impact is Autumn having on your life?
