I'm going to hang my shingle out properly by 'fessing that I've been reading Tolkien, and about Tolkien, for over half a century, and I'm currently obsessed with Rings of Power

A bit late for @wildflowerhour.bsky.social yesterday, but I was delighted to see these snowdrops today
Only thing is... I've lived here 23 years, never planted any, never had them before as far as I remember. But I did recently cut this small tree right back. And here they are!

This may be the most generous spread I've ever drawn for myself. Considering I'm under siege by my cannabis soaked neighbour and have withdrawn from one room in my house (squashing most of my books and all the kids' stuff into my beautiful grown-up study)
But the cards tell me it will be well

Want to make something clear:
Jeff Bezos intentionally destroyed the Washington Post because he hates free speech. He's an oligarch fascist.
When I post about The Rings of Power, I do so in praise of the work of the thousands of artists behind it. Not the one bald billionaire bitch who funded it.

I've reached part 4 of the prologue in my project to handwrite The Fellowship of the Ring into a set of journals
At this point I came so close to writing "the orcs of the mind" (instead of "orcs of the mine")
Nothing to do with listening to the Rings of Power soundtrack ๐

No females hazel flowers yet in Isle if Mull (they're tiny, red, and open on bare branches) but I spent so long trying to focus my phone on a red bud that this chap came to check up on me
Also out of focus, but ain't that song sweet? He was barely a foot away from me

I'm sorry I won't be submitting this year. I've loved being in some previous editions
But since I had Lyme disease last summer the little voice in my head, bubbling over with words, has gone silent. I hope it'll come back, but I have nothing new in me at the moment

It did that, and I feel I've been a bit harsh about it. But I did wonder at the end if I was going to stick with the series. Glad I did now
