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!

Sun's out now.

Looking at some neat cat stuff in the pet catalog. I really like cat furniture.

I've always wanted one of those big floor-to-ceiling cat habitat dealies... I saw one house where they had turned it into a pretty cool cat playground with a carpeted shelf that went around the whole room way up near the ceiling, ramps and stairs to get up to it. There was even a hole cut in the wall so the kitty run ran into another room.

Considering how horribly expensive a lot of the cat furniture in catalogs can be, I've always wondered just how hard it would be and how expensive it would be to get a bunch of carpeting remainders or such-like, a buncha wood, and just build some sort of structure and cover it with carpet.

I imagine if I every tried it, it'd look pretty scary. But the cats would probably love it.

That's what I've often thought too.... you could build it cheaper.... course... I've still never ~done~ that.

So my cat sleeps on my mousepad.

Heh...and mine sleep tucked away in odd corners and closets. Or in the middle of the floor (Halvah).

Actually both of them are sprawled out on the floor near my desk like a coupla dogs right now. They always want to be near wherever I am, and I guess the furniture is outside the perimeter of how close they want to be.

Heh. I know what'd happen....I'd get all that stuff done with hole-doorways for the cat. She'd take one look at it and curl up on the human couch.

I really like cat furniture And cat furniture would look really good in your new sunroom!!

Good Morning!! OB is at a gun show and I'm shredding papers and "being careful". Grrr. I mean, the cataract surgery seems to be successful and I am looking forward to getting the other eye fixed, but they don't tell you about the restrictions till after they're done. I can't lift more than 25 pounds for 2 weeks (per eye), I can't wash my hair (ewwwww!), I can't sleep on the operatative side for (2 weeks per eye) and whine, whine, whine!!! I've called my hairdresser and have an hair-washing appointment tomorrow, but in the meantime, ewww.

Miss Cat has soemthing like this....except the mouse hangs from the bottom square. I cut off the round thing and put it on the floor so she can curl up in it.

Heh...I sometimes forget just how big he is.

Tam is now scolding me because I'm on the computer, when I *could* be playing with *him*. What's so good about an old computer anyway? How can it compare with a wonderful, princely Siamese brat...err...cat??

At least, that's how I interpret.

Mine just have a sisal scratching post with a small (too small to sleep on) platform on top. They'd like something like that!

Of course my cat doesn't like scratching sisal so I've got a carpeted post too. And she likes clawing the floor mat.

Oh...I'm watching Night to Remember... a 1958 British movie. The only actor I recognize in it is David McCallum.
