I hobbitfreak, am currently working on a project. What is the project? I am building a Hobbit-hole in my backyard! My backyard is rather largish and hilly. It is the perfect place for a Hobbit's humble dwelling. Below I have listed the facebook page for the project.

Frodo's lament for Gandalf

Fellowship of the Ring

Book 2 Chapter 7

When evening in the Shire was grey

his footsteps on the Hill were heard;

before the dawn he went away

on a journey without a word.

From Wilderland to Western shore,

from northern waste to southern hill, 

through dragon-lair and hidden door

and darkling woods he walked at will.

With Dwarf and Hobbit, Elves and Men,

with mortal and immortal folk,

with bird on bough and beast in den,

in their own secret tongues he spoke.

A deadly sword, a healing hand,

a back that is bent beneath it's load;

a trumpet-voice, a burning brand,

a weary pilgrim on the road.

A lord of wisdom throned he sat,

swift in anger, quick to laugh; 

an old man in a battered hat

who leaned upon a thorny staff.

He stood upon the bridge alone

and Fire and Shadow both defied;

his staff was broken on the stone,

in Khazad-dum his wisdom died. 

The Hobbit Character Study #2 Dwalin

                     Dwalin

Dwarf of Durin's Folk, second son of Fundin and brother to Balin. Dwalin was one of the companions of Thrain during his wanderings from 2841 to 2845, and later was a member of Thorin and Company. After the death of Smaug, he settled in Erebor.

The Hobbit Character Study #1 Balin

Balin

Dwarf of the house of Durin,  King of Khazad-dum. Balin was a follower of Thrain, and later of Thorin, from the time of the War of the Dwarves, Orcs and Goblins. Balin accompanied Thrain on the journey in 2841 that cost him his life, and a century later he was one of the members of Thorin and Company. After the death of Smaug he settled in Erebor, but in 2989 he went to Khazad-dum with many Dwarves of Erebor to set up a Dwarf-colony there. Five years later he was slain by an Orc in Azanulbizar. Balin and Bilbo became quite friendly in 2941. Balin seems to have been kindlier than many other Dwarves. He was the only Dwarf to visit Bilbo in the shire after the death of Smaug.
