The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home ahead

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!

Well, I was expecting a lot more fireworks last night. I can't predict this place any more :~)

So your critters were hung over for nothing?

Good Moring!

They are... hung over for nothing!

Although.... Even if there's a couple distant booms, drugs are never wasted on Homer.

Good Morning, sip, back from our walk, quiet in our neighborhood too, surprised us. Sorry that the critters need coffee and aspirin.

We're expecting an geometric increase in both actual and perceived noise levels today through Tuesday.

Well, we found ourselves a little short on doggie downers, so we've so far been drugging only Homer. Gidget barks, but I think she sortof enjoys the fireworks. She's not going to run off in a panic any way.

Homer antics remind us of how Samantha acted during thunderstorms; wasn't pretty at all, you both have our sympathy.

Gypsy doesn't care for fireworks or thunder but the desk works well as her safe place so that's a vast improvement. Gifford wanted to know who was shooting and why wasn't I , that much noise meant 'bird down' somewhere. :-)

Thanks.... He's a pain, with his eyes bugging out, clawing at us and whining... He's in a panic so it does no good to get mad at him, but you can't settle or reason with him either.

Drugs are better :~)

Heh....sounds like what Ramius' reaction would be if I asked him to go to Fred Meyer again.

Mornin'. ~sip~

Heheh...

Just remind him, it could be worse - it could be *Wal-mart*. On a Sunday, no less, when the place is packed to the gills!

Run away, run away!

Oh! I've been welcomed at last by the new bugs sent to torment me.

Seems like the big ol' cockroaches in Florida sent a memo to the big ol' spiders in Washington.

One of those ~lovely~ critters was on the wall last night. The Great Hunter had to smash him with a sandal. I didn't believe it was real at first!

*shudder*

Haven't seen a WallyWorld here yet. Ramius says we're too urban for one, but we do have a Tarzhay. ;-)

I imagine they'll get steadily worse over the next few days...but yeah, it was awfully quiet last night.

Cisco gets more agitated because of other dogs in the area barking than because of other noises. There's a little dog I've never seen across the street - sounds like a dachshund. When that one gets going, it gets Cisco riled up some of the time...whining and pacing. Most of the time he's fine.

What was it... A daddy-long-legs? The great hunter, in this case, is just as freaked by spiders as you are :~D I'm surprised you didn't have to send the girls to kill it :~D

Well, if he's not too mad about the fireworks, that's a major good feature in his personality! Good! The neighbors across the street usually do quite a bit on the 4th.
