Another March Update

Last week, the hobbits of Michael Delving celebrated St. Patrick's Day. The Ela hobblitling and the Hobbit Wife got their nails painted orange to celebrate the day.
The Ela hobbitling walked around for days afterward showing off her hands and saying, "See? Is so pity!"
Last Friday was the fifth anniversary for the Mayor and the Hobbit Wife. They have made big plans to take a trip this summer, so the event was kept low-key. The whole family went down to ride the South Lake Union Streetcar (not to be confused with the South Lake Union Trolley). A fun time was had by all, but especially the Boookie, who loved riding the train down to Westlake Center, where he got to eat pizza and watch the monorail. As a special anniversary gift, knowing full well that the fifth anniversary is Wood, the Mayor went ahead and bought the Hobbit Wife...Metal. The picture below shows the bottom element of the Hobbit Wife's oven earlier in the week. The Mayor had awoken to discover bright orange flames filling the oven. Apparently, the oven element had burned through - did anyone know that oven elements could burn? The Hobbit Wife has assured the Mayor that his gift of Metal is entirely appropriate for the Wood anniversary.
Speaking of wood, on Saturday the Mayor built himself a cart for under-the-stairs storage. One doesn't attend Crosspoint Church for this long without learning all about carts!
