Every day, I feel more and more restless.
Maybe I just haven’t settled into the pattern of school yet.
Maybe it’s just the weather.

She never watched the morning rising, Too busy with the day’s first chores, But oft she would watch the sun’s fading, As the cold of night crept across the moors. And in that moment She felt the loss Of everything that had been missed. So used to feeling the spirit sink, She had not felt her own heart’s wish

Like the bluebirds flying by me, Like the waves out on the blue sea. But if your love has to tie me, don’t try me, say ‘Goodbye.”

Post "Lord of the Rings" viewing interview with my...
Me: “So, did you have a favorite character?”
Mom: “Um, um, I liked Aragorn. And the Merrypippin people. Oh! And Sam. I liked Sam because, well, I mean, how could you not like Sam?”

She also has a strong dislike of the “morkins.” Apparently that’s Mom-language for...
