To absolutely no one's surprise

Your result for The What Middle Earth race do you belong to Test...

Wizard

You scored 0% Size & Strength, 88% Morality, 35% Aggression, and 88% Intelligence.

You scored high in morality and intelligence, but lower in physical strength and aggression, which means you're probably a Wizard. Counted among the very wise and (with that one exception) good creatures of Middle Earth are the Wizards, or Istari. Though they appear as old men, the Istari are actually powerful Maiar spirits sent from Valinor to Middle Earth to act as caretakers of the land and guides to men and beasts. Their supernatural heritage means they're also the only line of defense against rogue Maiar like Balrogs. Though only Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast are named through the novels, there are two other Wizards at large in Middle Earth, quietly working to bring tranquility to their surroundings.

Your polar opposite is the Urûk-Hai.

And the Tryst Inn finally gets a yard man!

Zach is a very creative, hard working fourteen year old who loves dogs. I called him up last night and he showed up at noon. Actually, he was ten minutes early. I like this kid.

Right now, he's hand cutting the backyard with a scythe. He saw our collection of scythes and fell in love, I told him to find the one he likes best and keep it! He's having a hell of a time, whistling and humming under his breath, as he slides the blade cleanly through our weeds. After he lays the tall weeds low, he's going to mow it. Weed whacking shall begin after he takes a break to go swim and cool off. I'm in heaven!

Zach's put me on his schedule for noon each Monday. I have a dozen or so yard projects in mind, Zach loves them all. Should make for an interesting partnership.

Update: What a entrepreneur. Zach came back from the pool with another Zach! I've now got two of them scything their way through the yard.

A few things to consider

Not that I'm into the whole rah-rah Patriotism thing, but hubby sent me this and since I am a huge fan of the "you don't know what you're f*cking talk about, so sit down and shut up" retort, I'm posting this here.

Behind a cut for those easily offended.

For all my witchy friends (and that's most of you)

Shakespeare's thoughts on the "Witching Hour" in Hamlet:

Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood,
And do such bitter business as the day
Would quake to look on.
[Act III, sc. ii]
