The Hobbit Hole IV – The Road Goes Ever On…

[HairOfTheDog]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

I got the windows open and the ceiling fan going. It just got hot I think because I shut the windows before I went to work this afternoon thinking it would be too cool when I got home. It's cooled down some but the room I've been sleeping in is in the middle of the house. No air flow. It's hot!!!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Sounds like a good plan! In case I don't get to say it before you leave, a safe journey to you, on your way home. ;)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Oh, hot in the house, but not outside? At least that will correct itself eventually.

Boy, it's hard to catch up here when one is gone all day.

if I were independently wealthy, I might want to live in Fort Davis ...

If I were independantly wealthy, I would definitely want to live in Ft. Davis! And Myranda is in wholehearted agreement with us there!

[Wneighbor]

Well, it's pretty warm outside as well. Definitely warmer than 58. I had on a blazer tonight at work. When I came outside it came off immediately - had on a tank top under it and the air felt good - even on the bike!

[Wneighbor]

YEA!!! Elf Spam!!!

[Wneighbor]

and all he did was come in and fall into bed ... TO SLEEP!

It's just because you made him feel so "at home."

[Wneighbor]

Have you ever watched "fear factor"?

No. But, I think you are stooping VEY LOW now.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

It's just because you made him feel so "at home."

Yeah! That's what it was!

[Wneighbor]

Well, it sounded like a good reason to me!!!

I'm going to sit out in the back yard for a bit. Cool off!

[Wneighbor]

Blast it! Neighbors are out in their yard.

Reason #1 why I miss living in the country. Can sit in the yard at night with a minimal amount of clothing without anybody seeing you.

[SuziQ]

I don't think I've every heard that song! I am utterly unfamiliar with it!

You obviously missed the 'folk-scare' of the mid to late 60's!!

[Wneighbor]

Suzi, how hot is it in Massachusetts tonight? LOL!!!

[Wneighbor]

Might as well have more than one late night funkle.

Hey, gardening guys, I picked over 100 ripe tomatoes off my 6 surviving tomato plants this afternoon. And they are still loaded with green tomatoes!

[Wneighbor]

That's just wrong. I'm in denial.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

My next post won't help your mood...

[Wneighbor]

Well, I'm waiting. Will it encourage me to try to go to sleep again?

There you go! Don't know if it will help you sleep or not though.

But, I have to be up at 5:30, so I'm going to bed! Good night!
