The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

It's not worry so much as awareness of my situation. I try very hard to always pay attention to that.

The only place I get nervous is the parking lot at school when I'm up there for an event after dark. It's just sort of creepy somehow.

EEEK!!

Just as I typed that, a baby salamander climbed up the wall right next to me.

Scared me to death! I thought it was a cockroach!

It appears so.

One of those transparent-looking pinkish ones. It's small, maybe about 2 inches from tip to tail - but it made me jump outta my seat. LOL!

Prolly scared the little fella WAY more than he scared me.

I think salamanders might be worse.... especially creepy clearish pink ones.

The only reason I can live with the salamander is because I'm certain he'll eat the cockroaches that sneak in.

The lesser of two evils.

Baby lizards are cute... the ones we have pretty much stay on the floor, though.

Evening - those are amazing pictures, these aerials only give us a glimpse of what happened, so thankful that all your family made it out okay.

I was looking at some aerials on a USGS site, showing which barrier islands are still there and which aren't. Simply amazing.

Can you 'splain it to Jen?

Jen, short version.

It's a scene from a movie with Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding, Jr. Cruise is a sports agent. Catch phrase in the movie is "Show me the money!" which Gooding has Cruise scream out while he's on the phone.

I cut and pasted Mayor Nagin's face on Cuba Gooding's body.

It's prolly far less funny with the explanation.
