The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...That none have seen but we alone.

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!

Good morning, Steve! 115...that's just wrong!

On the other hand, it's been sooo cold for sooo long here in Vermont that even though I don't really care for heat, I'm rejoicing in the forecast - supposed to get up to nearly 90 today, and I'm actually HAPPY about that.

Hmm... how far did you get?

Getting lost in a good book is a good thing.

I know...but then they're done too quickly! I hate that! See tagline...

I'm up to the Quidditch match with Slytherin. So...quite a way. And I'm convinced that a lot of things (and people) are not what they seem, but don't have any proof yet.

Warning: do not begin Chapter 17 unless you are prepared to finish the rest of the book. That's where it gets really, really good.

Aren't fritattas (not sure of the spelling) more or less a big broiled omelet, sort of? I made a sort of one this morning. Sauteed mushrooms, onion and spinach, then poured two eggs beaten with a little milk over the vegetables, sprinkled the whole thing with cheese, and broiled until slightly browned. It was really simple and really good...I'm thinking I'll have to make that more often.

I didn't bring it to work with me today. I had it here yesterday afternoon and ended up sneaking chapters here and there. Figured it wasn't good for me to have it here.

Regardless of other qualities, she DOES do a good job of keeping mysteries going so you wanna know what happens next.

Yeah pretty much. But I don't broil mine.

Nope. I just leave it on the stovetop and cover the pan so the egg on top cooks.

Ah, OK. That's even simpler! Though I liked the nice browned cheese.

What an neat tool! I was reading the website and they mentioned one thing that I never thought of...

If your doors have power locks you can open the locks manually.

I can't!!! Mine receed clear down into the door when they are locked. I'll never buy a car like THAT again!

And here's another thing I liked about the website...it says

Avoiding the situation is best. Be aware of your surroundings, know where there's water and drive defensively.

Come to think of it, it's not just bridges that concern me...I don't even like to drive down roads with full drainage ditches! The combination of car and water just concerns me know end.

Wonder if something happened to me when I was a kit or something? I should ask my mom!

I don't think I'll get the tool, but I can sure put a drywall razor and a hammer in my car...we've got bunches of them! Steve finds them on the road all the time!

Good morning everyone! Gotta take the jedis to VBS...BBL.

It's a shame to have work cut into your reading time, isn't it?

It's usually browned on the bottom.

I need a cup of coffee.

Yeah. I need an arrangement like Hermione has, so I can do both.

That'll work... or perhaps an Invisibilty Cloak so one could sneak out without being noticed.

How long are you staying in Washington?

Depends on how long I'm in line. I figure I'll get to the Capitol around 9:00 p.m. tomorrow night and get in line. I'll play it by ear from there.
