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!

There's no glory in a snag like that! You need someone to compete against!

At least it's not a drought.

Been there, done that.

I'm at the office. Decided to come on in. Still had to take a couple of detours.

The "powers that be" are idjits. We should be closed.

My boss isn't here. But he don't make the decisions.

The guy that does has "people" to take him around...

That's the wall outside of St. John's Church. Flat Frodo stood on it last summer.

The audience broke into a standing ovation, and for a moment Roden was the center of attention.

And you know the cool thing is that the President probably enjoyed that as much as Roden.

It's way our of range of the hose. (for the motion sensor deer-sprinkler idea LF mentioned)

Buy some more hose, and hook it on. You can probably use the extra hose for other things, anyway.

Ok, we just got back from the doctor's office. AGAIN.

Matthew has a bite on his neck...I assumed a mosquito bite but it just seemed to get worse. Yesterday evening I noticed it was much worse...had a ring around it and red lines shooting off it. So I put some hydrocoritsone on it. Checked this morning and the lines were shooting clear up his neck and down past his collar-bone.

I took him to the doc. They took his temperature and say "He's running a fever!" I had no idea! I feel awful about that! He didn't act sick or anything!

Doc said it was probably a tick bite. He got them on him when Steve took him out in the woods last weekend looking for a good place to hunt. I'd even pulled a couple off him.

He had to have blood drawn from his arm. He was a trooper...just got this "tough" look on his face and didn't even flinch! Anyway, they're checking him for Lyme disease and some other things...don't know what.

They put him on Zythromax antibiotic, Benadryl to keep him from itching and Advil for the fever. He's crashed on the couch now.

Poor little guy. I hope he gets better soon.

Rent "Spiderman" for him. Tell him to let you know if he starts throwin' webs...

If I hook up any more sections of hose, I've got no water pressure. If I could get a hose out there, I'd have been irrigating the pasture all this time. Not enough pump.

Wow! Did the water just shoot down that road and cut that or what?
