The Hobbit Hole XII - Tree and flower and leaf and grass
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Tree and flower and leaf and grass

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!

Who are they playing?

I'm really bummed about missing church. We only have communion once a month, and this was the week, and next month I'll have moved. Oh well.

Hullo ladies!

So, OT, are you back in Kansas? Everything closed on the house? I bet it was/will-be sad to drive out the last time from a place. Part of your life stays there!

Sorry you missed church Jen.... We could use rain here but apparently ours was sent to the wrong place.

Well the stuff is out of the house so the new folks can move in. They're renting until closing on the 9th....yes, it's in writing.

he turns around and does some donuts, and then comes back to the goslings for another pass... swamps them in his wake. What a jerk.

Oh my gosh!!!! Is this that neighbor kid down there or somebody else? Those were the cutest sight swimming up. How horrible to do that! :-(

Have you seen them today? Do you think they are still there?

Maybe it was a mistake to remark that "ya know... a .270 could probably sink those things, and tonight, the bang would probably be mistaken for fireworks... "

I never heard that. This is a good night for fireworks.

Feelin' kinda sad? I got a potential buyer for my house here now too. We've been playing phone tag for a couple of days. I guess I'll have my home place sold soon too.

When I was waiting for the movers a hummingbird flew up looking for the feeder.

Well, even if they have both, they can only be one place at a time. Same with snowmobiles, ATVs, you name it, there is a certain percentage of jerks that don't know how to responsibly operate them.

Ramius, please convey a 'way to go' to Dona.

((((Overtaxed))))

I've pretty much given up on Wichita Falls ever feeling like home. It's just too flat and dry. That makes it worse with having to sell this place.

Dona was down on the beach carrying a big stick and standing between him and the goslings.

Good for Dona!! Too bad somebody didn't have a tranquilizer gun with a nice long range. What a jerk! I'm glad to know the goslings are all ok.

We have a pair of geese and their babies living in a swampy area across the street from our Public Works Dept. I haven't seen them try to cross the street yet. They seem content to stay near the water, but they'll come up the embankment to the side of the road and peck around in the grass. They must have gotten used to the traffic early on because it is a busy road, and they don't even flinch when cars go by.
