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! |

That's the episode I was thinking of!
Oh, well... I suppose there is always the possibility of novelizations to fill in that backstory...

Well, he did whisper something to Mal in the movie. Maybe that will be a 'follow up' story for the next movie.

I'd love to try, even if I ended up hating it.
I'll sleep on it.
Nighty night!

Well, sorry this happened with the dog and the chickens... It's hard for me to advise, as I think you are fighting nature.
I'd rather have a dog than chickens... so if I had to have chickens, I'd build a good chicken coop and/or a fenced dog yard. I know Gidget has high prey drive, so I don't even consider getting chickens.
Those dogs who truly accept and protect livestock are actually raised ~with~ and bond with that livestock, they aren't punished for showing interest... But I don't know how to apply that to your situation now.

Didn't you get these pups from a breed rescue group? Did you get the feeling from them that they were good at training and handling issues? Might they be good to call for this kind of thing?

Had a nice crack of thunder wake me up around 2 or 3'ish last night.
All is well in the Shire...except for too many squirrels romping around. A bit breezy and steamy.
Gonna put a second pot of coffee on and watch another Lon Chaney movie. They're racin' at 'dega this afternoon so I expect I won't get too much done today. :)

The thing I can't figure out, in a culture as tech savvy as the Asian culture, is why they grew up eating rice and didn't invent the spoon.And that's about as useful for soup as the sticks are for rice :)

I tried to get a pic of Joseph's spear technique (he actually stacked up about 5 of those little sausage slices and speared 'em at one go), but I missed :(

Going to have a cookout with my cousin, his fiancee, her two short epople*, our friends and their three (the older two of whom you have just seen breaching oriental etiquette).
When utensils are used at all, they'll prbably be plastic, and have some sort of specialized tool-shape at the business end :)
*epople: a Freeperism seldom used that must not be allowed to die :)
