*It's a beautiful day...

... in Hobbiton, made more beautiful because my eldest son frodo_gardener, walks beside me. Frodo and I are taking him across the pathway to see Herbal Healing store we're opening soon. We stand on the walk outside Bag End.*

It's right over there, my boy. *I point to the building* Though I set it back a bit from the path here so that dust from othosb's monstrosity ( Read more... )

*I smile and take Sam's hand...walking with him down the path*

I like to be near you, too. Especially always on a day as lovely as this one.

*I glance toward the honeysuckle bush that had Otho destroyed earlier then pause for a moment...letting Sam's hand fall*

Sam? Did you plant another honeysuckle here? How did you manage to do that without me knowing? Thank you so much! It's beautiful!

*I kneel... mayorsamgamgee March 30 2005, 23:05:42 UTC

... on the path next to the honeysuckle bush and examine it with great amazement*

Stars and glory! It's like new again! No, my Frodo, I did not plant a new bush. I've not had time to do such a thing. Last time I saw it.. it's poor leaves were still crushed. Then, as we walked into Bag End, I saw Froie bending over it.

*I rise to my feet and look closely at my eldest son.*

Did YOU have something to do with this, my boy?

* I blush... frodo_gardener March 30 2005, 23:10:39 UTC

.. a bit, and look down at the ground, moving my foot in the dirt by the side of the road.*

Well, Pop. I did use a bit of Elven lore to try to help Mr. Frodo's bush. Seems to have worked. The bush seems fine now. Maybe it wasn't as badly hurt as we thought at first.

*I look up at my father and Mr. Frodo, and smile winningly, hoping he'll let the matter drop there.*

Let's go see your Herbal store, Poppa. I can't wait to see what you've done.

Hmmmm.

*I give my son a look of scepticism*

Frodo Gardener, many's the time when you were a Hobbit-lad you used to try to get one past me when you and your brother's were doin' mischief. But I was never fooled bacause when you talked, that foot of yours would be rubbin' in the dirt and the blush would be red on your face...

*I lean closer to Froie*

... just as it is right this minute. I think there's more here than meets the eye, or my name's not Sam Gamgee. What're you up to, lad?
