The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

Hey, it's gorgeous here although a bit cool. Very windy so I'm getting a load of laundry ready to hang out...take advantage of the God-given clothes dryer! :-)

My you have been busy! And in foul weather!

I haven't gone out much other than to get the eggs...I've washed three small loads of laundry (reds, darks, whites) and when this last load finishes, I'll make just one trip!

But the sun is shining really bright and it's 51 degrees out.

It's nasty here too.

We just looked into where ksen is.... Anyone know why he hasn't posted since November 4?

Did the religion wars wear him out? He doesn't appear to be banned.

Hmm....curious!

I've wondered now and then what would anyone do if something happened to me and I just suddenly stopped posting. Would Steve or Celeste think to come in here and let you know?

I dunno...

Does anyone have his phone number?

Do we need a search party?

It's rainy and miserable here as well. But warmer than most of y'all. We had thunderstorms for about 3-4 hours last night.

Don't know what happened to ksen. Haven't heard from him. And no, he wasn't banned. It's quite possible he got fed up tho. There's a lot of that going on over there. It's just weird.

Wife made me 'splain to her how she could let y'all know if'n I got runned over by a truck...funny she asked where the insurance paperwork was too...

I'n I happen to disappear, post on the Virginia board. They'll find me.

I just hope it wouldn't take us five weeks to notice you were missing. But he'd been off wandering a lot and not keeping in touch, and it's hard to keep track!

Well, any excuse for a party!

I don't think we have a good number for him still. We had this trouble after the hurricane, and didn't correct it.

That does look nice...

But...I'd be saying something different in August!

Still...wouldn't mind having family to visit there! ;-)

Should be a welcome change when we're there in March for my sister's wedding.

But yes, from May to September, it is pretty unbearable.

I have the number I had for Entmoot. IIRC it didn't work after the hurricane either.
