There he is! In the bean patch!
And here he is with me! Where will he be off to next? Your house? 
If you want a shot at being Bilbo's next host, leave a comment! The only requirements are that you must have a blog and you must follow Dirt Princess' rules below. I'll draw a name on Friday at 1:00 PM. I'll post the result here, so be sure to check back!RULES
#1) COPY & PASTE these rules into your post on Bilbo if you receive him. The post must be titled WHERE IN THE WORLD IS BILBO: (your city). If everyone copies the rules, then the person you send it to will know what to do. If each post is titled the same, we can keep track of Bilbo and follow him on his adventure. PLEASE do not forget to copy and paste these rules into your post if you receive Bilbo.

BILBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You little devil....hiding in the pea patch!
I'm glad he arrived safely.
Hi Bilbo!
He sure got there quickly! Maybe you'll end up in Washington next.
I'm glad to see that you made it there just fine. Great shot of you two together :)
Bilbo is such a sexy gold color!
I still like Smeagol better
SCOTT!!!! You crack me up ...Smeagol. Where in the World is Smeagol: Jackson, Mississippi....
Hey Ginger - I heard that Bilbo likes beans thats why he was hiding. Glad he arrived safe and sound. Happy gardening... Becca
Hi Bilbo! PS Bilbo - tell your current minder to think hard before accidentally picking me, she'd have to post to England...
Bon Voyage Bilbo. Will you be traveling to Idaho anytime soon? Hope so, we'd love to have you come visit a few days.

Count me in! I love visitors! gail
Wow, Bilbo is very popular!! I'll post the winner Friday at 1 and hopefully get him in the mail Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. EB- If you win, I may have to cut off and sell Bilbo's gold watering can to pay postage - LOL :)
Oh and Dirt Princess - that does sound hilarious! I laughed out loud at work today when I read Scott's and then your comment!
The clematis on the mailbox is tied with some raffia, the blooms get heavy and it falls over. I found that they need some help to climb and stay put...
I want Bilbo! Send him to me and I'll play along.
I see your yard is wildlife certified. Mine is too. Goes way back. I am mostly into birds but we have raccoons here from time to time and other small animals as we live in town.
My birds blog shows my birds.
A new blog, Pick a Peck of Pixels shows one of the raccoons.
