Finding Frodo
Tol Eressea
Good morning, fellow travelers! I hope your walks are going well. We had a thaw here on Sunday and I had a lovely walk through the neighborhood, wishing a "Happy Spring" to everyone I passed. Then the puddles froze overnight and we got another 2 inches of snow, so I worked off my spring fever by scrubbing the walls and woodwork in my living room and front hall.
Here's a little scenery for your walk, again from Lothlorien in "The Mirror of Galadriel":
They remained some days in Lothlorien, so far as they could tell or remember. All the while that they dwelt there the sun shone clear, save for a gentle rain that fell at times, and passed away leaving all things fresh and clean. the air was cool and soft, as if it were early spring, yet they felt about them the deep and thoughtful quiet of winter. It seemed to them that they did little but eat and drink and rest, and walk among the trees; and it was enough.
I wish you good food and drink and rest and pleasant walks among the trees. Have a good week, everyone!
Don’t forget to update your mileage on the Shields page. Be sure to keep a paper record of your miles, as there is always the potential for the Shields page to crash (again). And see you in Rivendell!!!!
Explanatory note: The Eowyn Challenge/ Walk to Rivendell (and beyond) is a LOTR-related fitness walk thingy that began in March 2003, and that has been going on with walkers around the world ever since. The idea is to keep track of your mileage as you walk, and soon you will find yourself traversing the 458 miles to Rivendell. The walk is open to all. Keeping a goal date in mind can be useful for some, others are happy taking the scenic route and getting to Rivendell eventually. The website for the Walk explains things far more coherently than I can; please check out the link below, especially the main page and the Walk page. Lots of useful links, including wonderful mileage charts compiled by the late Karen Wynn Fonstad, can be found on the Tools page.
The TORn Walk to Rivendell thread can usually be found right here on Main, on Thursday mornings.
