The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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!

Is that the NCAA tournament that's being held in Worcester?

Well, even with money considerations aside (although it seems it never is). We think the freeperette from the Saddle Club sounds like a logical choice.

The horses are valuable as well as being family, quality care such as 'putting them in and out at night and during weather' seems to be a paramount consideration.

Plus Gidget and Homer could use the companionship.

Sounds like the next time the distribution of utes and saws should be just about right. Glad it worked out.

It was a nice visit. This son can do no wrong in Nana's eyes. Always been that way.

Reminds me of how my mother and her brother appear in their mother's eyes... Mom's the one who takes her to lunch all the time, loans her money, is around to do things for her, the brother visits once every year or so, and he's the perfect son.

I have flowers in pots and other things in little growing cups and seeds in water. I am cool.

There's a heck of a movie on HBO on Rawanda called "Sometimes in April." Extremely well done, very damning of the Clinton admin.

It is really amazing. Not the type of film I usually go for. I'm prone to nightmares with such films. But we saw the "making of" special and the director said that this is the story the world does not know. He's right.

Oh, like that's likely.

I am going to try to grow moonflowers and encourage them to twine around on the balcony. My primroses are lovely and so's the other thing I've got blooming now. Forgot the name. Planted gladiolas for later, and started a couple herbs...

Homer seems very uneasy about being left alone.

It'll be out on DVD eventually. They did another recently that was a little more PC but was still excellent. It was called "Something the Lord Made" and was about an unsung hero in the development of open heart surgery. I just saw on the website that it's been released on dvd.

it did... we spent alot of time teachin' the art of the maul and the wedge...

none of these boys had ever split wood before... needless to say, seein' me split 18" dia logs with one semi-good arm after they flailed around was mighty humblin' fer 'em...

it'd been sad if'n it hadn't been suh funny... but we learned 'em... they were much better at the end...
