Drabble for Earth Day
What could be more appropriate for Earth Day than a story about growing and planting things?
***
On Mayor's birthday the mallorn blossoms, silver flowers amid gold leaves. Folks come from far t'see it, and it allus blooms on the Sixth.
Some say it grew from the tears the Gardner wept when Mad Baggins went away with the Elves. Some say he was so angry at the Ruffians for cutting the trees that he drove his walkin' stick in the earth, and it sprouted leaves that very day. Any road, we love it dear.
Those with an April 6 birthday plant trees on that day. Like the Mayor, they give a gift to the Shire as well.
