A Trip to Aldburg
(Spring, Fourth Age 4)
Aldburg sits at the feet of the White Mountains, where the land bends sharply upward into high slopes still frozen with winter’s snow. But down here, the edges of the grasslands are already beginning to thaw: the first buds of spring can be seen on the rabbit brush, and delicate cones are beginning to emerge from the pines. The sky is wide and blue and the first of the butterflies can be seen in the meadows.
