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!

The tomatoes are lovely...wish I was gonna get bunches like that! I think I gotta deal with just getting my sauce and my 'maters at the store. The growing season here is short enough that I really would have needed to start indoors before the frost stopped, and had a LOT more plants.

I guess my perfect garden will have to wait until I get my place, but at least I can have a better chance next year...

So that's what homeschooling looks like? I'm jealous!--I would've loved that! Of course we didn't have home computers back then (at least not until I was in about 4th-5th grade), but still, that looks vey cool.

Well, that's just a snap shot. We're constantly moving, sitting in the bean bag, standing up doing "Head, shoulders, knees and toes"...

Right now, Matthew is standing in the living room listening to his reading teacher...she is a "Private Eye" type person and it must be a bit suspensful right now because he's just fixated...trying to decode something! LOL It's hysterical.

He comes to me to clarify instructions and to grade his work.

All right, glad you found the bug!

I'm dead. I think I'd better forget about a social life this semester. My object-oriented programming class looks like it's going to be about twice as much work as I'd expected.

You folks with firearms are obviously going to have to DRIVE to Shoot Moot! I don't think you want to be packing those pieces in your suitcases!

It's safer flying with them than driving in a vehicle loaded with guns across many jursidictions with different attitudes. There are specific rules on packing weapons to fly, and I'd rather deal with one set of rules to the letter than try to learn the rules in all the states in between!

Looks like it to me!

Hair - nope. It's been pretty dead today. Everyone's busy.

Did you see that thread about the horses killed by power lines? How awful!

I'll be back in a bit...Steve has school tonight, so after I get the jedis in bed (around 8pm) I'll be back. I want to get my prep work for tomorrow done so I don't have to deal with it after they go to bed!

They are playing on the other computers...

Yeah - I pinged my horse list to it. How such a thing is possible is what I don't get.

The only thing I can figure is that the ground was soaked from all the rain lately and carried the current through the entire pasture.

I don't want to picture it though. I'd prolly cry.

The absolute horror of it boggles the mind.

I saw ya over there on that thread. What a horrible thing.

Gotta go. Jr. and I are bringing crap out of the ~attic~ tonite (to get ready for the consignment sale). And I have GOT to finish working on my monlogue. I'm about 2/3 of the way memorized.

I'll check in later.
