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

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

I'd send you some if I could...we've even gone swimming in the rain 'cause of getting sick of waiting for sun.

Thunderstorms last night and today. At least they're not the torrential rains and hail type.

If'n you hadn't dropped outta first grade you could count tuh ten...

Seriesly tho, I know. Two years ago it was like that fer us. We had drought conditions for almost five years. It's just our turn to be soggy.

What worries me most is if we get hit again like we did with Isabel that we'll (as in the general area) lose even MORE trees than before. The City of Richmond alone lost about 10,000 trees in Isabel...

Probably a dumb question, but did you try soaking that bolt in WD40?

Boys are already up...early this morning! I'm off to start the day with them. See y'all later!

Yeah, but I got no place tuh burn firewood. Our chimney has a crack in the flue. Chimney sweep said don't even think about a fire in there. As soon as I get me an extry 2-3K I'll get it fixed.

Fer now, we use one of them fireplace candelabras.

I figured...

It's pouring here! A nice soaking rain, been raining for a while. Steve had to go out sometime in the night to collect samples.

We have had the mildest summer I have ever seen. We've actually needed jackets some mornings! Usually we're running in the 100s and the earth is baked brown!

Our grass is really green!

Morning!

I'm keeping an eye on Charley. We've already decided if it turns and heads towards us we're gonna take a nice trip to anywhere we can find working electricity. :-D

The kids got up early this morning and decided to make waffles...Rebecca did the mixing and read it wrong...1 Tb of salt. :-) I went ahead and let them eat one. Good lesson on following directions. She also knows that 1Tb is too much for just about any reciepe...it called for 1/4 tsp.

Good morning! I'm off to school.

Oops! Heh...I remember one time my brother made bread and left OUT the salt. That wasn't very good either. With salted butter it was OK, but for sandwiches, it was very blah. And then there was the time I forgot the baking soda in the cookies I was making...my brothers dubbed them "rock cookies". They were edible only after much soaking in milk...

Good lesson to learn, though! Attention to detail...very important!
