The Hobbit Hole VIII - Still round the corner we may meet...

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

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!

I don't know...it was about an inch big all around including long legs...a crawling spider, not a orb type spider...I was sitting here logging into the Hole when I noticed it...

I'm in the kitchen on Matthew's laptop and I think it must have either been on the chair or on the underneath of the countertop. I'd been sitting here reading my email and eating breakfast. I had noticed it crawling on me for a while but thought it was a thread or something from my shorts!

These are my OSU shorts...the ones I got special for the Houston Moot...grey workout shorts, you know...I sleep in 'em.

So I'm on a health kick all of a sudden and trying to figure out how sane people behave :)

LOL!

You're still in my prayers, for sure. Keep us updated!

Today is Steve's second to last school day...next Wed is his last day...for this semester!

He got in last night at 11pm. I made him a cup of green tea and sat and visited for just a little while.

He's lost 21 pounds since Mar. 8th on Atkins. He broke through into the 180s yesterday and was very thrilled.

There are three in jail now.

I am learning that city governments are not far removed from the "Gangs of New York". It is truly amazing how much "stuff" goes on at this level.

Oh dear! Sorry about the spider bite. No worries about poison. Either put a little paste of meat tenderizer on it or some listerine and it will make it feel less itchy if the cortisone doesn't work.

*shudder*

Though spiders don't bother me as much as roaches. Luckily I've never seen a roach in VT. Guess houses are too far apart and it's too cold...though I'm betting there are some in the bigger cities.

Didn't hurt all that bad, when it bit me...mainly just itched. I put the hydrocorisone on it and it quit itching. The bumps were little bitty, like very small mosquito bites. They are gone now.

I think it must have bit me pretty quick, since I was naturally moving around and whacking it at it pretty intensely.

I'd rather NOT imagine it! ;-)

We used to have little black spiders in the house sometimes when I was little...not sure what kind. I'm pretty sure I got bitten in my sleep a few times. But thinking about dealing with one crawling on me gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Well, there's Shelob under my kitchen window sill, she's been there for over two years...just a little house spider. She keeps laying eggs...I've never seen a daddy spider about. I just take the egg sac out with tweezers and flush it down the toilet.

I don't like her, but she doesn't hurt anything...just hangs out there. Kinda interesting.
