The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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!

Hope Rose feels better soon, too! Give her my best wishes!

Did you ever get completely well, or is this a relapse?

Well, theoretically I was all better. This started differently though with the sinus congestion. There has to be something triggering all of this though. But I gotta get thedoctor past just treating the symptoms and help; me figger that out.

Shameless! (I knew I wasn't going to get it, but still).

Did you get up early because you knew it would be there?

Fortunately, it's moving into my chest again, so that's familiar territory.

Sounds like Jen needs to send you her rice steamer and Vick's Vap-o-Rub!

Amen!

Speaking of which...anyone know what early April weather is like in, say, northern OH and IN? I'm realizing I may need to budget for extra days on our trip in case of snow...or is it pretty well spring by then?

Here, we can get snow even as late as early May, so I dunno what to plan for. I was hoping to switch to all season tires and sell the winter ones right before I go - or leave them to bothers to sell for what they can get.

I'd be surprised if you found snow along the trip that late... I think it'd be one of those freaky late snows.
