Oh dear, it seems I'm a bit late this year. But, I have arrived at last! I'm pretty sure I heard a request for some spring showers - don't worry, that's all taken care of. I brought some flowers in, too. I knew you'd be looking for some, Jenny dear. *skips up to the Lilac Room to air the place out and make sure there are lots of lilacs about (pretty easy, considering )* *sings back to the birds outside the window* *trots back downstairs* Is there work to be done? I'm more than willing!

Waves at Vana. "Wanna help with the rosebushes? Mayday says they're awful thorny this year, the spiders are out in full force, and some wanderer is passed out underneath the house speciality."

Those would be fresh morels, sauteed in butter and a little wine. I've added a few simple herbs, and it should be ready about the same time the bread comes out of the oven! *scents of fresh bread and morel stew waft through the tavern* *Jenny braces herself for a rush of hobbits*

And I have some freshly picked strawberries with cream for dessert! *Artfully arranges them on a platter* "Why yes, Pippin. I'll be glad to serve you myself, but you must have some of the mushroom stew first. It is simply not to be missed!" *Waters Telperion*

*Notes skillery's sudden pallor* Oh, don't worry! It's just a giant spider. Frodo! Where's Sting? Mind if I borrow it for a minute? We can't have folks creeping out and leaving the party. Thanks, dear. I'll bring it back to you good as new. *Runs out to confront the spider, knowing she'll make a good show of it, what with the leather spider tamer dress and thigh-high Sexy Boots and all*

*Waves black flag to draw spider's attention away from the tavern. Yells "Attercop!" a couple of times to let the spider know she means business. Lures the spider away, then brandishes Sting. Spider sighs, pays tribute of spidersilk, and scurries back to its home in Mirkwood.* Gotta tell those elves to quit playing practical jokes on the guests! Now, can I get anyone to make me a gown out of this?

Don't worry, Telperian, Jenny took care of it. That spider wasn't quite big enough to hurt you anyway. Shan, yes, let's have a bit of a rest. The roses look lovely! *wanders around the gardens, making sure all of the plants and small creatures are doing well* *pots some garden plants and brings them inside to brighten up the Tavern* *helps herself to a bit of wine*

"My master, Mr. Hornblower apologizes for the dreadful condition of this weed. It seems that something has been sucking the sap out of the plants. The entire Southfarthing has been affected. We are also sad to report that there will be no more shipments of Southern Star this year. Our crop has been wiped out.” *eyes the “spider steak” doubtfully, knowing that spiders are all chitin and hydraulic fluid* “Are you sure that’s spider you’re serving there missy?”

Not everything with eight legs is a spider, you ninnies! This is squid, in a light creme sauce with fresh asparagus. We serve it on a bed of spinach noodles with a side of brown bread and a fruit sorbet. The spiders have gone back to Mirkwood, I believe. Has one gotten lost, and is now lurking in the Old Forest? I'll have to see what we can do about that. If Bilbo's feeling frisky, I may send him on over. He's quite good at taking care of spiders, you know. *winks at Bilbo, coming down the stairs with mussed-up hair and rosy cheeks*
