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!

ecurbh cantered today for the first time! - First time was kindof an accident... I told him if he cued too hard he would get a canter, and he did!

I am pretty proud of my ecurbh, he's gonna be a good rider, and I am looking forward to getting him his own horse.

Tomorrow I wanna put my own saddle on, so I can reach the stirrups!

I took a series of funny pony pictures too. This is my pony having a heck of a time getting at an itch... Hard to tell in stills, but she is actually rubbing her udder and bee-hind and almost "scooting" like a dog. She does the most oddball things I've never seen an adult horse do. ;~D

She did that for a good several minutes... I figured if she was that miserable I better check it out, and washed her bee-hind and udder real well. I think she is in heat too, which might be part of it.

I think washing her helped.... you know how it is when you have been out in the dirt and you are sweaty and gunky in your udder.

Here today it was 70 degrees in the next county over but 40 in my county (due to the effects of Green Bay and Lake Michigan on the peninsula). I'm kinda expecting tornadoes, too, though I haven't heard any predictions yet.

I'm here, but just briefly...Joshua and I are in the back bedroom, Steve is watching Pet Cemetary and we got scared and left! Josh has his LeapPad and I'm freeping real quick.

Yeah, we were under one for a while earlier this afternoon. It's all past now and it's just drizzly and chilly.

Well, joshua didn't want to admit he was scared, but he came in the kitchen with me while I was making tea and then wouldn't go back into the livingroom with me! LOL So we retreated to the back.
