The Hobbit Hole XII - Tree and flower and leaf and grass

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!

Not a problem with the salt box. It's exactly in the same cabinet configuration as the old house. In reach of the stove at all times. :-)

Given the nature of the books, yeah probably. Hoping these Harper's will go for more. Similar items are going for $7-10, and I suppose a serious collector just might....

Well, there you go.

I certainly didn't lose by it.

Morning, all! Greetings from sunny AZ. Am having a great visit with family. We'll be heading up to the north country this afternoon to see some cousins in Flagstaff. Will be nice to see *my* mountains again and maybe stroll through campus.

E- There's two big fires burning here- one near Payson and another on Mt. Graham. The way the night air settles, you could smell the smoke all the way down in Florence. The one near Payson really breaks my heart because we really wanted to get in there and spend some time along a certain creek that was my father's favorite fishing spot. The news is saying this fire the second biggest in AZ history- bigger than Mt. Lemmon last year. There were some big power lines that were being threatened and the East Valley had to deal with some rolling blackouts for a while. It's a real mess. But at least lightning started this one instead of some dimwit city dweller.

I'm torn about the Mt. Graham fire. On one hand, it is funny as heck given the history of the environmentalists trying to 'save the squirrels' only to now have the mountain burn up from other failed environmental policies. On the other, it's another beautiful forest lost.

Ah well. We're off to Walmart to get some munchies for our trip north.

Hugs to all!

Heh... I think I'm about up to my ears in postal shipping with the troop support packages that I send from the Hobbit Hole. That was the main reason I quit thinking about getting rid of stuff on ebay. LOL

Yeah....I'm listening to last night's Cubs game. Always liked the bottom of the fifth inning. :)

Say Hi to Prescott as you drive by the exit! Are you gonna drive through Oak Creek Canyon on your way to Flagstaff? I've always loved that route.

But it needs a name. Kansas City Lemonade, maybe?

I like that!

Morning all! Going to garage sales this morning, again.

Did a couple of garage sales myself this a.m. Didn't buy anything.

Almost bought a sword. When I was in high school my dream was to go to Spain with my Spanish class, but my parents couldn't afford it. I wanted to go to Toledo, Spain and buy a sword. Found one this morning for $25. But it wasn't in great shape, plus in my house, it would only cause problems.

Went to the "Super Flea Market" which was not open by 9:00 a.m. What's up with that? My step-father would've sold half his inventory by 9.

Gotta bathe the dog, then start to work on clearing Jr's room to paint. Mrs. is in charge of the clothes first...I've got some time.

My Mama wasn't so elaborate. She'd pour some whiskey in the jar and drop in a couple of peppermint sticks. Only took a tablespoon full to cure what ailed ya!
