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!

And some of your sibs are mostly blind, right? So you know better than most that people - not to mention animals - can function more than ok with reduced vision.

Hey, maybe it's just a protective reaction or something.

Yep...Ben and Bill are both legally blind, as in can't see well enough to do things like drive.

Appointment is tomorrow at ten thirty - I'm taking the day off to get some things done. Dump run and such.

Good! That will be productive. And you get three days off.

Sigh. This weekend I get to take a test, write a proposal, and study for a midterm. I think I'm going to collapse of exhaustion come spring break.

Well...I WAS going to take tomorrow off. Now I'm not sure if I'll get the whole day. The other tech just went home sick...so maybe I should just take the morning, if he's sick again tomorrow.

Almost test time?

My mother's cat, Bear had the same trouble, and it got to the point that he wouldn't open his eye.

The vet gave him birth control pills. Kid you not! (and it worked)

Did his eye look cloudy? And did it clear right up in the end?

I hope I hope I hope this is reversible!

Perfect for the woman who never knows where or when she'll be bedded next.

We scared up one at Boy Scout camp about 17 years ago in central Arkansas. At the time it was really rare to see them around there. I hear they are spreading.
