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!

I gotta believe she already knows about the leak...the oil is fresh that's pouring out. I really suspect they're just pouring it in and it's just pouring out.

I talked to Steve about it last night. He said he'd talk to my neighbor's husband. He's an automechanic. These people live behind them. Which is why I didn't really know them, they live on a different street in the neighborhood. ( If you look at the oil spot picture with my car in it, my neighbors live directly to the left.)

Has anyone yet remarked on your leaving other than that network dude?

Morning. Gorgeous day here. I'm still in panic mode but maybe I'll get somewhere on these assignments today.

A few others have wished me luck, probably with varying levels of sincerity. ;-)

I talked to the lawyer's office this morning since they'd called me...it was something about additional paperwork, which I think is all straightened out. Phew...

Woo Hoo!

Bring out the kids and the camera and the picnic lunch!






OK - maybe the picnic lunch is a bad idea.

LOL!! Ii told Matthew he needed to get done with school so he can check it out. He said "Why would I want to do that?"

I've actually never seen it done...my parents had it done with I was a kid, but I wasn't allowed outside during the process.

Do they take the whole lid off?

Er...no. They'll connect their hose to the valve in your tank.

If you ~see~ stuff, there's a problem.

Oh yeah - they'll take the whole lid off and stick a big vacuum hose in and move it around... it will smell pretty bad, but it's worth seein'.

????

Valve? They stood over the big hole in ours with the vacuum hose and sucked it out.... moving the hose around and spraying a high pressure water hose on the sides to clean off any clinging crud.

**chuckling**

I find my entertainment where I can.

Hey, Rosabelle got out of the coop...she's the one that can fly the best and she just flies over the little barrier fence we have up.

She needed to lay an egg and couldn't figure out how to fly back in, so she made herself a little nest next to the coop under a board I have propped up back there! I went and got her anyways and put her in the coop where she made a bee-line for a nest box! LOL

Funny chickens.

I reckon. All I know is they didn't have to disturb too much of the yard to do it.

Take pictures 2J.

;-)

I don't think I've seen pictures of Isabelle and Rosabelle since they've grown up. I keep forgetting about them!
