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 is frightening! I should try this sometime :~D

[RosieCotton]

Cartman on 'nip could be really entertaining. Want to borrow some? ;-)

[HairOfTheDog]

You got the 'stuff'?

[RosieCotton]

Got some, yep. And it'd be interesting to see how he reacts to it.

Great...now I'm a catnip pusher...

[Overtaxed]

It's legal!

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, Cartman's probably over there right now, and the kittens are already a little wired from being cooped up for two days, but maybe bring some over next time you come, it'd be fun :~)

[RosieCotton]

Yeah, Cartman's over here.

I suppose it's rude to get your neighbor's cat drunk on your doorstep...heh.

[HairOfTheDog]

If you get him drunk, at least give him a ride home :~)

[RosieCotton]

Ha!

[osagebowman]

Hair, thanks for the reminder; seeing that time lapse again was great. Doesn't seem like over two years have passed.

[JenB]

Good morning Hobbit Hole!

Where is everyone this beautiful Monday morning?

[RMDupree]

Mornin'. Still nursing my first cup of coffee here.

[RosieCotton]

I still have to make my first coffee.

Ungh.

[Ramius]

Mmmm... nursing...

[sip]

[RMDupree]

heh...I don't know what you're drinking, but I'm taking it away. ;-)

[RMDupree]

That simply cannot be!

[RosieCotton]

It's done now. But I don't think I have time to make another two shots before work...shoulda made four to begin with.

It's that kinda day, I think.

[HairOfTheDog]

~yawn~

There is Pilon brewing :~)

[SuziQ]

Eating my yogurt and granola and fixing to start painting, unless Clare hears from one of her roommates, then we might drive over to meet her and visit for a bit. Oddly, this girl lives in Sturbridge, about 1/2 hr. from here!

She's already talked to another of her roommates, who is from just north of Miami, about 2 hrs. away from the school, so she's getting excited about going. We're flying down on Thursday. I just hope Mr. IwannaJihad doesn't start causing trouble between now and then.

[HairOfTheDog]

I'm sure the safest time to fly is right after one of these crackdowns, you all have a great trip and don't worry :~)
