The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

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!

Here is a link to a story of our Chaplain. Pass this on for more prayers.

Steve

Fort Lewis chaplain fights for his life

He'll be in our prayers Steve.

I had read a story about him in the Oly paper too, and wondered if he was someone you know... Stay safe over there, we are all praying for safety for all of you.

Good job on the varmint. We had a nasty rat in the house last night, but one of the cats got it. I remembered why we tolerate them... rather have cats than rats... but they leave little rat spleens lying around.

g'nad; good shootin'. we lost power at 22:26 got it back at 06:02. If you had got yore varmit 6 minutes earlier, we could have figured the shot carried a mite further than anticipated. :-)

On the walk this a.m. saw minimal tree damage although power seemed to be on in most neighborhoods, one set of traffic lights were still out, they had the temporary stop signs up. Got about an inch of rain out of it. Front went through pretty fast and sun is shining now. Think the storm should be about to Dogwood Ridge now, from the looks of the radar.

The last screen shot of radar that OT posted reminded us to take down the hanging porch plants and pull in the bird feeders. Glad we did.

"As for the risks involved, Father Tim took the chaplains' view: 'The safest place for me to be is in the center of God's will,' he explained to his sister during a previous deployment to Bosnia, 'and if that is in the line of fire, that is where I will be.'"

God Bless Father Tim. I'll add him to our Parish Prayer list!
I had read about him on FR, but didn't connect him with your group. Thanks for letting us know.

"Me too...Still do, somewhere in Mom's attic...though sometime in the early 80's I modified it to use a marginally better external speaker and used it to play other records."

Yep, that's about what mine looked like, LOL! That picture brings back memories :)
