The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

So... are you all up to date with the new goings-on next door at the T's? Surveyors showed up today, and they were running lines all up and down the road and the beach and (presumably) between the lots.

[sigh] This guy just won't let go.

I can tell some of the story, though he may be calling just to share the fun. :-)

It didn't develop until later in the morning when the survey guys showed up. Dad was up by the mailbox when they were setting up and he asked them what they were doing. They said they were doing a property line survey for Mr. T. to re-establish the lines on *either* side of his lot.

Of course this is all developing because of Mr. P's fence that he put up. T is going to challenge the new fence. But... the survey dudes spent a lot of time on the beach in front of us, and they were clearly measuring our lot too, and shooting the corners of the boathouse and such.

Then Mrs. P called, after Dad left. I was going to call her when the phone rang. She was just letting me know that there were surveyors about... I said I knew that... and we had quite a long convo about the situation, the fence... how nasty the T's are... yada yada yada. She was not a happy camper.

As far as the P's are concerned, she says that Mr P is *very* sure about where he stuck the fence, and in fact he intentionally put it about four inches back from where he marked the line between the stakes.

[sigh] I can't imagine what T hopes to do here. He's fighting the most sensless of lost causes, *especially* with us.

She also passed on an amusing anecdote... via a conversation with Chet. Seems they were talking and Chet said something to the effect that "Yeah, well, Ron keeps talking to attorneys and he just can't find one that will tell him what he wants to hear"... I was rolling in laughter at that one. Well, I said... there's a reason for that. :-)

Is Suzi in the path of that thing?
Looks like more rain for the Mid Atlantic states.

Hopefully our internet service will be back tomorrow, and I'll be able to catch up with everyone.
