I couldn't decide whether to reembody Maedhros with one hand or both hands for the Maedhros-goes-back-to-ME AU that's my Leaf & Lore project, and so I decided to let the internet decide for me, and made a tumblr poll, and

This is the funniest possible ratio and I owe that 155th voter my life because I'm pretty sure they decided it. I don't know what I would've done if it had ended with a 50/50 result. Laughed until I cried, probably, and then flipped a coin? I genuinely did not expect it to be this close.

Anyway, bringing Maedhros back from Mandos with both hands! Now I can actually get started on the fic...or the first fic, since I already know this is going to turn into a series--I can't cover 2/3 of the Third Age in a single coherent fic. What I really want is to write the War of the Ring with Maedhros getting involved (no, he's not joining the Fellowship--but he's not staying home either), but there's a lot of groundwork that needs laying first.

Also when I made the poll I set it to run for 3 days and I did not intend to have it end on election night, because I'd forgotten that today was election day (I voted by mail last month), but it's kind of a funny coincidence.

Xiggy's age caught up with him very rapidly over the last six months or so. He turned 16 this past January, and we finally had to put him down this afternoon.

I miss him a lot, but he had a good run.

The chickens may hate the snow but the other birds don't mind at all.

I looked out the window a little while ago and saw this lil' guy. He's been coming around since he was born in the spring, but today he wasn't with his mom, and you can see his antlers coming in!

I finally got a decent picture of our ladies. Four of them, anyway. The fifth was hunkered down on the floor by their feeder, for some reason. They're finally starting to really settle in.
