“But his uneasiness wore off, and in the fine weather he forgot his troubles for a while. The Shire had seldom seen so fair a summer, or so rich an autumn: the trees were laden with apples, honey was dripping in the combs, and the corn was tall and full. (75)
The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
Hooray for September! (And that’s not just because it includes September 22nd. *cough*)
I’m not looking forward to the busyness of the school year, but I’m looking forward to autumn weather. (And that’s not just because I can wear my Strider boots without getting hot.) I never thought I really liked fall, but it’s been growing on me. Fall suggests everything lovely: fresh fruit; flame-colored leaves; gossamer and big, beautiful spiders (I like those as long as they don’t touch me. . .); crisp autumn mornings; cool breezes; everything pumpkin flavored; pretty scarves and gloves. . .
Happy autumn, y’all!
P.S. I got more info on Catania’s Forest up recently. . . it’s still not much, but you should get a chance to learn more soon.
Yes, hooray for September!! 🙂
Woah. I didn’t read all of FOTR, so I didn’t see that, but MAN what an awesome mental image! Fall is awesome. =)
Haha, YES! I realized also that the hobbits’ birthdays are on the first day of Fall. As Ellen has said before, what a coincidental convenience! =) We need to do something for their birthday…maybe I can convince Mom to make pie or something…
Happy autumn to you, too!

Lord of the Rings IS tough reading, but I love his writing style!
Yes, it’s so cool that the first day of fall the twenty-second. I thought about making brownies or something. And posting on my blog, of course. 😉
LOVE that quote, Hanna! So many beautiful mental images – and of course I can’t help but like it, because FotR 😀 .
September 22! I’m definitely posting (or at least, I’ll try to post :D)! Autumn is SO beautiful!
Yes, everything Middle Earth makes me happy. Do you have a favorite book out of the trilogy?
If you do post about it, I can’t wait to read it!
HAPPY FALL, Y’ALL!!!
I love fall, it’s my favorite season…. =D I’m so glad it’s here. =) This post was great, Hanna! Can’t wait to see you on the 20th!!!!!!!!!!!! =D ( How do you do a super excited face????)

I love fall too!
I’m SO excited for the twentieth!!
Yay! Autumn! Three cheers for cozy sweaters, mugs of hot apple cider, fallen leaves, and LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!! =D
Wierd, I was so sure I already commented on here, but for some reason it didn’t show up… *Shrug* 🙂
Anyway, happy September everyone!! Anyone have plans for September 22…? 😀

Oh great, what’s my deal? First I commented on here and it didn’t show up, then I try to comment again, but I spell weird wrong, so I try to change it as it’s being posted, and the computer gets stuck so I impatiently click ‘post’ again hoping it will speed up the process, and THEN somehow that made me end up with two comments!! *Sigh* I’m having some serious problems…. 🙂 🙂
*pats Skylar on the back sympathetically* 😀
That’s fine, Sky, it’s easy to do that. And you’re first comment didn’t show up at first because you used the name Skylar P, not Skylar Perran. My blog didn’t recognize it as you, so it thought it was the first time you commented. I have to approve the first comment from every person before it shows up. . . If that made any sense? You’re comment’s there now. 😉
Thank goodness. 🙂
