Found my favourite autumnal tree I've come across on my walks so far! 🍂 It's absolutely huge and golden – I'm certainly glad I looked up. It reminds me of mallorn trees in autumn!

Also, the Quenya name for mellyrn, malinornë, is so beautiful. ♡

A lovely time by the pool of blue water at the halls of Aulë. It is said some of every tree that grows in middle earth grew here.

Oh blessed Aulë, this is such a thoughtful gift, thank you. The sapling will be natured in our home and may you one day visit us and look upon it.

Dinner sounds lovely, we’ll be there.

Just wondering, Saruman had such contempt for Radagast the brown, do we know how he felt about Tom Bombadil?

Therapist: in this session we will begin to dig deeper into …

Me: No. The Dwarves dug too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dûm... shadow and flame.

Therapist: emotions, dig into emotions

Me: oooh ok

Of #Unfriends

“… we desire no strangers in this land to break the peace in which we live. And these folks are hewers of trees and hunters of beasts; therefore we are their unfriends, and if they will not depart we shall afflict them in all ways that we can.'” - Green Elves
