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!

I'm moving all the houseplants that have spent the summer on the portch into the house, which, like the tipping first domino, means our entire desk system needed to be moved about a foot, which will lead to the whole living room being rearranged, and then probably the whole house.

I'm reorganizing my room, which will probably lead to sorting through the junk in my desk, which could lead to...heaven knows what.

I'm also realizing I don't have any pictures or posters or anything at all up on the walls in my room. *gasp* Which may warrant an emergency run to a hardware store (after six months of it not being an issue). Dunno where the nearest hardware store is, though. There's a Home Depot not too far away, I think...but it seems rather silly to go to Home Depot just to get a few nails or tacks.

Although I've complained about 'em a lot in the past, it makes me miss the hardware store back home, where I could walk in, instantly be accosted by about five guys who'd treat me like and idiot, BUT get me whatever items I asked for. Made life easier, even if it was embarrassing and irritating at times.

Heh...cleaning up here too. Managed to get most of the cat fur out of the computer case. I need to hang the pictures that were boxed up when I moved from Chapel Hill....gee I hope none of the glass broke.

Got the junk mail pile down to one spot instead of spread all over the table.

TheNewHouse definitly isn't "mother-clean." Good thing I don't have allergies.

My cats don't get tooooo much fur in the computer case.

The guitar case is another story.

I have pictures from theoldhouse, too. Since here I don't have as much space, some of 'em will stay packed, but I'd like to at least put some up!

I'm thinking it's likely Jen has nails somewhere, but I'm not sure I'm patient enough to wait. ;-) Wonder if the grocery would have basic small brads in the aisle with lightbulbs and such?

They might. They usually have a small hardware section.

Worth checking, I guess. I've been surprised a couple of times at how much our usual grocery carries. May run out in a bit.

Just had a naybor stop by to try to get me to buy magazines. Guess they're now doing magazine drives in college, too. Yay.

I told him I was too broke. At least "adult" students understand that concept.

Yucky looking, yes. At the same time you're saying "Die, hornworm, die!"

Heh...I got a coffee catalog in the mail today. So...it's five o'clock in the afternoon, not even dinner time, and certainly far beyond morning...and I'm brewing coffee.

I guess there are no laws where coffee is concerned, but...

Rearranged half the living room to make room for the plants.

Burned all kinds of paper, files and frap that's been stacked in a corner for two years.

Found the Christmas lights and thinking about putting them up. :~D

Mmmmm...pizza.

I get pizza tomorrow - the church young adults group is having an end of summer kinda party.

I've not exactly been diet-obedient today, either. Oh well. I guess as long as it isn't a daily deal.

It's got a half-whole wheat crust, lowfat mozzarella, tomatoes, veggies, and a little bit of dried beef.

Sounds healthy enough to me!

Sam's Club had a decent pre-lit artificial tree for $198.00.

But it was 9 ft. tall. I'd have to fall through anuther ceilin'...
