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!

Hello everyone! I'm home..... just ate a sammich, now I am lookin' at the lawn.... I'm gonna mow this afternoon.

Quiet day round here eh? I don't think I am ever gonna be able to freep from that job, the monitor is too exposed to everyone who wanders by. If it were my space, I'd rearrange furniture, I can't stand having my back to people who walk up.

Hate that too.

When you're sure you have the job you can always establish yourself as a bit of an eccentric and start protecting *everything*. They'll never know what it is you're really up to. hehehe

This job is just temp. Filling in for someone on medical leave. Although another person in the office is pregnant, so who knows, maybe one of them won't come back.

It was a sweet little wren or something. I closed all the blinds and left the door open, it flew out, a little shaken up is all!

My knuckles are white and I've been prayin' a hedge around this country!!! Choppers flew over in the night and F16s are flying over now...they are beautiful to behold, but fill me with anxiety.

Well, if they know something I don't...all I can do is pray.

mmmmmmmmmmm..............smores!!!

*snif* WeddingMoot....

I dunno what to do. Charley isn't close enough to warrant leaving, yet he's moving along so quickly there wouldn't be time to leave anyway.

*sigh*

Honestly though, after Andrew, Charley will prolly be nothing more than a bad thunderstorm in my eyes. It's going without power that'll drive me batty!

Good it flew out right away! I had some sparrows stuck in the garage for weeks earlier this year. I couldn't catch them because they'd just fly up in the rafters, and if I opened the door or windows they were too scared to fly out with me standing there, but I couldn't leave for fear of other birds coming in. I was afraid they'd starve, but I put water out for them, and I guess there were enough bugs for them to live on. Finally one day I managed to get them to fly out.

With no power you won't be able to play Insaniquarium! Hmm, I suppose you could still play in your head--I used to do that with Tetris. . .

May be. They usually fly over on Thursdays about once a month...seems like anyways. Strange for them to be flying over today.

We have the army national guard and the Air Force national guard just north of Tulsa.
