The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

It's not about Ruthy :~D

Ruthy's gonna take him to see alligators. That was the first thing that came to mind to say :~D I'm really looking forward to pictures of him standin' posed next to a gator.

You guys have a good visit... and report back and let us know!

That should be fun. We went to an alligator farm in Israel. Don't ask me why it was on the trip.

In other news, I really shouldn't complain about my morning...

There were about 40 cars involved this morning. This is west of the city. It was trickey because it ~looked like~ the roads were clear. But I had to scrape snow and ice off the vehicles this morning.

Tonight I'll post some pictures of the daffo-sicles in my front yard.

I'll try to find a ~little~ gator. :-D

We'll be doing that on Saturday morning.

The itinerary is in pencil, but this is what we have sortof planned.

Thurs - meeting here at work re: possible home office.
Thurs night - visit at abuela's church :-/
Friday - Seaquarium with the girls
Friday night - visit with the Cuban mafia (i.e., my family)
Saturday - Shark Valley & airboat ride
Saturday afternoon - going to the fair
Saturday night - got babysitting set up so we'll go out on the town (if we aren't too tired)
Sunday - I don't want to talk about Sunday. :-(

Weather is supposed to be really nice.

And Becky is almost as excited as I am! LOL!

If you're going to see alligators, make sure you bring some wild dogs along.
