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!

Hehehehe.....I've always wanted to say that one. Along with:

"Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about."

Evening, dude.

We're watching Lost, having surmounted some "technical difficults" (read: I had never see such a weird file setup).

*Sip*

Running around the house like a little fool. :-D

I had to put a no-slip sock over the cast to keep her from slipping on the tile.

It is... they're really cool. It's not an inflatable collar around the boat. It's a lightweight solid closed-cell foam. You shoot at it all day and poke it full of holes and nothing really happens. In fact it gives the crew a nifty bullet-absorbing thing to duck down behind.

Then they really overpower the things so they just ~jump~ outta the water onto a plane in seconds.

I'd love to have one. It would be a great boat to have around my place... but alas... they're kinda out of my price range.

Un anneau règne tous,
Un anneau les trouve;
Un anneau apporte tous,
et les lie dans l'obscurité.

She's already been given a time-out for kicking Mommy in the gut during a diaper change.

It hurt!

Small article in today's paper about a pilot project where Coasties and RCMP sail on each other's boats on the Detroit River so they can bust people on either side of the border. If it works, it will be expanded to all other US-Canadian border waters.

OK, as long as no one brings a pig... ;~D
