Mae Govannen!
It has been a long while since last I sat to record my thoughts here. Wilderland leaves me little time for recreation these days, now the Shadow has arisen once again. It may not be quite so dire as once it was, yet it is dire enough. It requires watching, and resisting, and the simple folk require guarding and defending. That is the Rangers' charge and joy.
I am fitting a new handle to my elven hunting knife, among other things. There are new bows, and bows under construction, along with new arrows. Arrowheads from Gondor await mounting. There is much work to be done. The Winter does not offer me so much leisure as it might other folk. Winter is the dark time of the year, and many dark things move while most folk are snug in their homes. We keep watch.

Tomorrow we are supposed to get a good snowfall...some 3 to 6 inches of it. We are far, far, behind where we ought to be this time of year. It does present an opportunity, however; we shall go out in the storm and get some photos, perhaps some video, of myself in my kit. If we get video that will be a first. The photos, during a snowstorm, ought to be a lot of fun. Perhaps I will shoot a stumper if we record it; that could be interesting. I cannot build a fire here...there are very strict regulations in place, so it would have to be a patrol video.
I am looking forward to it, indeed. :)
