Indeed, we have hobbits coming this very moment! The Gaffer and Sam have come to take cuttings from my garden, and they'll be needing someone to help them clean up afterward.

At your service, Lady Gardener. I am Bees the Handywench ready to do work that needs doing. Did I hear you say you had clippings to be cleaned up?
*sweeps the walk and paths with a few whisks*
How about weeding? Pruning? Repairs? Repainting? Do you have enough sheds? I can whip up a shed in a day if you have the necessity and materials onhand.
I've raked the leaves under the oak on the west end and cleaned the lily pond of debris. The lawn furniture appears to be in need of some repainting before the spring crowds arrive. Who is in charge of keeping inventory on hammocks, teacarts, and lawn games?

Bees! How lovely! What a nice surprise. Would you be a dear and help me make some fresh herbal lemonade? When we're finished, you may take it to refresh the Fellowship. They've been working hard, too.

*snorts* Hm? Yes, Aragorn, I'd love to be your concubi--Hey! Wha--?
*looks around, sees pump and lack of people*
I was sleeping??!! I fell asleep? Why did no one wake me? Oh, the shame of it...and beside the pump, too. I suppose everyone walked around and over me trying to use it. Oh, in the way again!
*brushes herself off and hurries inside through the kitchen door*
I beg your pardon, everyone. Here I came to help and I neglect work to be done. Oh, the shame of it all...
*spots pitcher of lemonade on table, quickly arranges glasses and straws on a tray, hurries off to find Fellowship*
Oh, they must be dying of thirst, and I've been snoozing away by the pump...Oh, shame on my head--
*Passes mirror in hall*
Aahh!! *...another look...* Gaaaaah! What was I thinking??
*disappears with tray into nearest WC, slams door*

Mushrooms.... blech. Talk about the Sum of All Fears. You gotta be a Daredevil to eat one of those. *sigh* I am told mushrooms are the Dogma of Hobbits religion and that Armegeddon will come when all mushrooms are destroyed.
I much prefer roasted will anyway.

*whispers* Ladies, I think perhaps T_Smith has lost his mind. Maybe he slept too long? Maybe he's actually still asleep? What shall we do about him?
