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

Posted on 06/26/2004 8:07:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

"That's why God made window screens!"

That's what I keep telling the tiny gnats that fly through the mesh, but they don't listen :)

I turned on the A/C window unit in the den.

Why? What'd that poor thing ever do to you?

It cooled off the stuffiness of the house sitting here closed up all this time now and I've given it a break. It's only on low. Very low. I'm comfy but not chilly. :-)

Sorry Sam's all scratchy.... hope he's feelin' better already.

Gidget's got something wrong with an eye. Not sure what, but it needs looked at.

PE got babygirl's new fish tank set up tonight. WooHoo! It is vey cool. I had a nice supply of marbles from my teacher stash, and we got a small bad of purple/blue/green gravel. The flourescent light reflects off of them in the dark in *such* a cool and colorful way! Now, all we need are the fish.

Don't tell elf-boy, but his gamma (my mom) is getting him a fish tank for his birthday. He gets to pick out the tank and the fish, stealthily. She wants me to have him pick it out, then she will buy it for him and bring it to the house to surprise him. Mind you she lives an hour away.

Awsome! Fish tank should give babygirl something fun and colorful to look at! I bet she's fascinated by it. :-)

Myranda had a fish tank in her room for years. Problem was, that was in the house where we didn't have heat. Fish would get too cold. And *every* time we lost a fish she cried and cried. It got to be *way* too much for me! LOL

She had it for 3 or 4 years and loved it though. I ended up using it for tarantulas. :-)

I am glad to announce, after a busy weekend, that all the dogs in the house appear to be in fine feddle, the humans...eh? who knows?

In fact, Emma is feeling quite chipper and full of herself: She rolled in horse poop today (Banner Day!). Of course, the bathing routine wasn't a happy event (for her), but the opportunity to roll in horse poop is worth any sacrifice and trial that follows.

I'm fixing to hit the hay again, myself. I took a nap about 8pm cause I was just exhausted. I've been coughing all day while doing the drawings on the computer, and wore myself out. I think I'm gonna have to give in and call the doc tomorrow. Bummer.

Hehehe... Emma had a kid day then! Good to hear that they made it through the weekend so well. Smeagol doesn't ever seem to be affected by fireworks.... but I'm sure she's gonna have the same reaction as Emma when I bathe her this week. She's been gone for several weeks... it's time... but she *won't* like it!

Emma loves to swim -- cold water no problem -- she swam in the Sound on Sunday. Cold as all get out. Barnacles on the rocks, no problem. But bath water? Might as well be bathing her in acid. Dogs are crazy.

Yeah they are! Smeagol is pouting over coming home. Here, she gets to stay *in* the house. She gets lots more attention.... but my aunt and uncle have another dog for company for her. She misses him. *sigh* She pouts.
