The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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 couldn't imagine riding a bike right now.

Unless it was an indoor, stationary one. :-D

It's the ~one~ degree that makes ALL of the difference, doncha know!! *wink*

And I don't understand how on earth it can be the same temperature here as it is there. Shouldn't it be at least 5 degrees cooler up there??

Prolly cause you get all them nice cool tropical breezes.

Are y'all supposed to get hit by Cindy or Dennis? We're supposed to get rain from Cindy this weekend.

Last year I couldn't have imagined saying this, but we need the rain.

It's almost that hot here. But not very humid at all. So it's doable.

I put up another canner of the spread. That's it. No more spread. The rest is going to be peach butter. I start that process in an hour.

Who lied and said tropical breezes are "cool"? :-D

Feels like someone turned on a blow dryer on its highest setting when the wind blows here, except it's sticky hot air. Blech!

Anyway, I don't expect we'll get more than some rain from Dennis. Cindy will prolly skip Miami altogether.

Can't say I blame her!

Well, what did you expect when you had the whole Hobbit Hole praying for sunny skies? *laughing*

The rain stayed away for weeks!

Is there really such a place?

Yeah, here. Pretty much. Maybe 5% humidity. It's why I can bike in 90 degree weather.

You know, I lost the link to that one place I found.

I can't even remeber what city it was in.

Do you remember? It was the pet-friendly place with high-speed internet. I remember it sat on a lot of acreage.

I'll keep looking!

When my little sister comes out, in two weeks, we might just do some 'sploring and see what we come up with.
