The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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 morning!

Man, am I glad it's Friday!

Yucky weather out there. Rained much of the night - the snow is gone again and it's all muddy. It's now changed to snow, but...wet stuff, of course. We're supposed to get 1-3 inches, which is almost not worth bothering with. I want real winter! Can I go on strike?

After last night, I think I was overly optimistic when I estimated I'd be ready to put the house on the market next week. I've done a lot and will be able to do a lot over the weekend, but still...I really would like the entire basement emptied and scrubbed - that'll take the weekend all by itself, the rest of the house really, really well flyladied, the closets and cabinets organized, and the office painted. Of course, if I had a lot of help...it might still be just possible, if we really worked on it without much goofing off, but I dunno that I can count on getting help like that!

I can only do my best.

Yup. I'm weird, too:

What is your weird quotient? Click to find out!

But in my defense: Of all the weird test takers: 50% are more weird, 12% are just as weird, and 38% are more normal than I!

But I don't know what the metrics for "weird" are.

I think it discounts you for learning on your own rather than having degrees - and I'm not a chemistry type. I call unfair!

Here's what I got...
