Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A sudden tree or standing stone
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! |

Bakshi is attacking from the shadows!--quick, form a circle! Just make sure not to protect Frodo. . .

Woo-hoo! Anti-funkle aid!
Frodo just woke up in Rivendell and Gandalf was about to explain to him what happened, which apparently was when the editor decided would be a good time to cut to a commercial for "Cat in the Hat". . .
BTW you've got mail.

"How I Became a Cubs Fan" is a long ...well maybe not
that long...story.
I'm still getting enough salad makin's for salad almost every night and the arugula is wanting to bolt.
Kitty is provisioned for the week. I still want to try that "Atkins for Cats" that LSA sent me. I just need to shop for ingredients and get another mortar and pestle for the eggshells.

Cubs are up on the Orcs 2-1. . .

ROFL! That actually happened to an aunt of mine when she went to help a sick relative during harvest time.

Bakshi Bilbo looks like Billy Barty from "Dr. Shrinker".

Atkins for cats? Isn't the better food mostly protein anyway?
My dogs steal eggshells if they can, or in any case gobble them if I accidentally drop one. Considering how much *I* hate getting even a little shell in my eggs, it makes me cringe listening to them eat those things if they get one. Ew...

My Mom puts eggshells out for birds in spring--I guess it helps them recover protein lost from laying eggs or something like that.

Yeah, I know people who would feed them to their chickens...supposedly the calcium in them made the shells of the LATER batches stronger.
Heh...when we were little, Mom used to always crack eggs, then put the shells back in the carton, so we'd end up with a carton full of broken shells, which would then get thrown out. It drove Dad crazy...finally he asked her why she did it, and she said because HER Mom did that. We got around to asking Grandma at some point and she said she did it because HER Mom did it...because they would give them to the chickens.
I'm finally breaking the tradition on that, at least for not.

I think it's called Dr. Pitcairn's diet. It's a raw meat diet and you're supposed to add wheat germ and powdered eggshells to it. They're supposed to get a multivitamin too.
To: RosieCotton
Um...last phrase should be "At least for now".
I'd still like to have chickens someday. Maybe.
