• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...

• Sixth Thread: The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
• Seventh Thread: The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

G'day, mate.

Or good evening, whatever. Whatcha been doing?

[Fedora]

I notice you've picked up an Australian accent overnight--you haven't been watching Crocodile Dundee or something? :)

I've felt kinda tired today, so after church I took a nap. Now I'm up and about and looking for pictures of spooky houses to use as models for the Page 1 shot of the house. What you up to?

[Fedora]

BTW, I couldn't believe you left a Precious open like that--if you're going to be an Evil Overlordess (TM), you should make sure your minions catch stuff like that! :)

Nice day here too.... Went out with the camera for our walk.

This is the new temporary cross fence that keeps them in a corridor along the back, and off most of the pasture till it can grow more.

They still have some room to run, and grass to nibble on. This is vital for pony.... She becomes so BAD when she is cooped up.

[HairOfTheDog]

Anything I can't stand it's gettin' gussied up for no reason!

Ever taken your pantyhose off goin' down the road? - I have! ;~D Can't stand 'em!

It's a nice day here, too!--makes me wonder when the thunderstorm or tornado is due :)

I'm trying to take things easy tonight, hence the accent and the non-spamming.

This afternoon I finished my Rurouni Kenshin manga. Sigh, the next book isn't out until June. Then I did a few little chores... nothing exciting. I'm trying to get some homework finished, but, it's not happening.

[msdrby]

well, I am gonna try to, but we *do* need to finish painting the nursery. Blue flowers, ya know.

I have been having contractions fairly regularly all week, just not strong enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. After this morning, though, they were much stronger. I took it upon myself to lay down for awhile. Feeling much better now, but every time I get up for long, my belly feels like it is somewhere down by my knees.

ROFL, trying to imagine myself doing that...

[RMDupree]

Hi there everybody!!

msdrby - that baby is stretching out and getting ready! Are you? *wink*

[Fedora]

No more manga?!!! Time to visit B&N :)

What's your homework? BTW, you've got mail--something silly :)

[HairOfTheDog]

It's only really bad when a semi-truck passes that can see in.

[JenB]

I shall check it.

I was at Borders last night and tried to identify a new manga I'd like. I love Fruits Basket, so far, but there's only two volumns translated. Shall probably end up getting all of Ranma, a little at a time. Otherwise, who knows - His and Her Circumstances was too girly, couldn't find the first book of a couple others. Sigh, I need anime/manga friends again.

[Fedora]

Hi, Ruthy! Long time no post! What's new with you?

[Overtaxed]

Think I'm in trouble. Been shopping for 'puter parts. I always spend money when I do that.

[msdrby]

I ~have~ changed clothes in the car before, I think I was fifteen or so. I remember being VERY self-conscious and putting on a shirt under the shirt I was taking off. Same thing with the pants. And of course, I was praying all the while that no one I knew would see me.

[osagebowman]

Hair; nice pics, they do look like they are enjoying themselves.

[Fedora]

What's Fruit Baskets about?

[osagebowman]

bummer on the job fair; hope the resume's pan out.

[RMDupree]

Nothing new, sad to say! *grinning*

Isn't that pathetic? I'm finally back and posting, and I have nothing interesting to add to the conversation!
