The Hobbit Hole XXI - ...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/21/2005 6:44:57 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

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!

... next chance of rain?... you guessed it, 30% on Friday and Saturday...

Hey, 30% isn't so bad. Maybe it'll blow over.

And if we gots to be stuck indoors...it's a decent group to be stuck indoors with. ;-)

Lovely here right now - clear, slightly breezy, and about 60. Which I didn't have laundry going - I'd pick a direction and walk.

Oh no! But you can't blame the weather man!

Since when is fault required in order to place blame?

Tam is such a nosy little brat. They're going yard work outside here, and he's going nuts trying to see every detail. The balcony railings get in the way - I don't trust him OUT on the balcony, so he can just see out the door.

If they made binoculars his size and there was a way to strap them on, he'd be one of those neighbors that spys on everyone. Little snoop.

OK, it's late, but I'm only just now drinking coffee. Hence I can't spell.

I'll be OK soon. Hope.

Let him out on the blacony - what's the worst that could happen? He'll be too busy eating the flowers to do anything else.

Okay, so Nana swears by Avon's "Skin So Soft." She puts it on the cat to soften her skin and keep off fleas. But she also used to put it on cotton balls and put them in her plants. Cats can't stand the smell.

He'd decide to go check out the next balcony...and the bushes below...and the view from across the street...

He's a brat, but I love him. Rather not see him as a pancake.

You need to get a leash so he can go outside just a little ways... of course then he'd probabl try to jump and end up dangling in midair.

Just feed the squirrels! They are much cuter than any bird.

Squirrels are evil. And rabid.

If he had a harness, it wouldn't hurt if he did that. Just surprise him greatly. ;-)

I forget...are there any areas along College where they don't have sidewalks? I'm thinking of walking to The Catholic Store (they really coulda picked a more original name...), just to get out, but I'm afraid of getting halfway there and finding out there's no easy way to walk.

And cute!

But then, a lot of evil things are cute.

Other than that little bridge by the mall, I don't believe so - but it's a long walk...

Though if you plan it so you're there around noonish, you could walk up to my building afterwards and we could go home (by way of the likker store) together.

Just on Laurel to Mason?

Yeah, it'd be about an hour long walk, I figure.

I can't leave until eleven thirty, though. Laundry. So I'd probably get there at twelve thirty, and could get to your building by a little before one. Would that work?
