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!

Good for you! I thnk it says something in LOTR about how the burned hand remembers best or something like that...she'll never forget about the salt!

We read about Curious George making pancakes yesterday and got right up afterward and made them for lunch. Joshua made the whole batch practically by himself...it's a very easy recipe.

A half a cup of self-rising flour
A half a cup of milk
1 egg
1 Tb oil
1 Tb sugar

He whirred it up with the hand mixer and everything! Even fried it in the cast iron skillet and used the pancake turner!

By then, Matthew thought this might be interesting and joined it.

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable weather.

I like it though...the skeeters don't seem "so" bad.

Castle Stormhands is straight up I-95. ;-)

The thought crossed my mind for a moment...then I realized that showing up would basically add another Luke (Alyson), another Nana (my mom), an over-active 6 year old (Becky) and a super-talkative Hobbit (me!) to your life.

Could be disasterous!!

In all seriousness, you know you're welcome. But I suspect we're a little further north than you'll need to travel.

That's similar to my recipe, except that I've never used sugar and I use baking powder and regular flour instead of the self-rising. Sometimes I use partly water instead of all milk, too, which changes the texture a little.

I've been making pancakes as a once a week Sunday treat using buckwheat flour, which is healthier. And blueberries...mmmm...blueberries! Had all my brothers over the other day and we had those. They loved them!

Hi, guys, looks like some hurricane preparation, or at least thought towards it, is in order today for South Florida. Hopefully, the thing will miss, but it's a little too close for comfort. Moving fast, too, so not much time to get ready.

I never checked on it last night, so this morning's track is a kind of unhappy surprise.

I believe it is going to have some effect on your weather, too, Corin, pretty quickly as well, though I think it will not be at all as horrendous as the one last summer.

Yes, all this activity is a couple weeks early, in my book.
Well, maybe it could calm down early, too.

Are you going to ride it out if it hits or are you and the Mrs taking a small road trip? :)

Here, either...

We do get blizzards...but our storms are generally the mind their own business sort...so long as you don't go out in them, you're pretty safe! They don't come after ya...

At least there's no annual volcano season.

Now there ~is~ an unfortunate annual Patty Murray season.

It's a trade off, I know...

If yer brother ever gets me that 6 figger job, I'll move to Washington. But I gotta be near the coast.
