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!

We hardly ever get precipitation. When we do... it's usually mostly hail. *sigh*

They just said we didn't even have measureable rainfall with that storm that was here a little bit ago. Big honkin' hail... but no measureable rain.

There's a good trade-off to be had...

We have basically NO dangerous critters. No cockroaches, no biting bugs (especially on the beach... nothing *bites*), no gators, no poisonous snakes, no gila monsters... nothing really all that dangerous at all.

Sure... there's the occasional bear or cougar... but they don't bother me and I don't bother them. We have an agreement that way.

I guess if it's going to be that cold, I shouldn't bother bringing shorts.

what about if sharks have learned how to "layer"?

Fortunately for us: sharks are stoopid. That, and they don't have hands with opposable thumbs, so they can't work buttons or zippers. Keeps them from wearing coats. Since they can't button the coats, they just keep falling off when they swim. Lucky for us.

I'm startin' to wonder the same thing OT! Hard to think of that in late June huh?

uh... I just turned off the pilot light and gas to the furnace. If it falls below 75 I may complain!

Dull is good. Online friends are better. I got to do that yesterday... can't do it at the client site, though. It's especially tricky for me as my friend's five time zones ahead.

Hullo, back from errands, fixing up my lunch for tomorrow, exercise, et al. We decided to wear costumes to the Harry Potter movie, so we had to find material for hats.

And now I'm almost ready for bed, sigh.

AC?? What's that?

I like the way you think. :-)

Come on down to Houston in August and you'll be beggin' for it. For that matter so would I - in Houston. :-)

Got skeeters?

Nope. Well... yes, there are skeeters in Washington... but they don't like the salt air. Houses back away from the beach will get skeeters, but we don't see 'em near the beach. Suits me.

Now that is VEY cool about the skeeters! I'd rather have all manner of nasty bugs crawlin' around than to get buzzed constantly by those things!

Gotta close windows -- FAST!

Gees! That one blew in so hard that it blew a lamp off the table behind me! Criminy! The windows are 4 feet above the floor in here. The lamp was on a low table. Uh,.... that's a STRONG gust!
