The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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!

Morning!

Everything blowed up real good. Going to do the morning walk and then get started on the crocus.

Do squirrels like crocus?

ROTFL!! Little Mizz Bidness is visiting us!!

Great pic of Rosie, though I'm thinking her new place of employment might be a tad more casual. ;o)

Good Morning - beautiful day here. Been up since early thirty. Had to get a haircut, I know, that didn't take long-but the 'stache needed a 'series' thinning and grooming. Bit of yard work today and a selection of various and sundry projects.

Exgeeeye - That is wonderful work, a tip of the ol' ball cap to you.

Had breakfast already....should go out and do the neighborhood walk.

Then it's looking like another trip to Home Depot. Found a website that recommends panting bulbs with bloodmeal fertilizer to ward off the Attack of the Gray Squirrels.

Frito walked directly to his cozy fire and slumped in the chair. He began to muse upon the years of delicious boredom that lay ahead. Perhaps he would take up Scrabble.

I might have thought the squirrels would be put off by the panting alone!

Morning OT. We put sand on top of each of the tulip bulbs we planted. Supposed to thwart the furry little tree rats. I suppose ground glass would work but the sand was 'available'.
