The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...
Posted on 03/15/2004 1:45:41 PM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
But not yet weary are our feet...
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! |

I wouldn't let it go to nothing, that'll give them a big clue. You are right, I will be careful about that. The funny thing is, the "internet tracking" thing is so poor it really wouldn't tell them anything anyway. A couple of months ago, my internet usage was tracked at zero when I was surfing off-and-on practically all day every day. So it just doesn't work well enough for them to do anything with any of the information they get. All it is is an intimidation tactic I think.

tricksy! Yup, that's me! ;)

Having to suffer today for not bringing it will probably guarantee that I won't forget it in the future!
Glad you are feeling better!
Now I'd better sign off. I'm using the work computer right now...trying to spread out my usage between the two systems to conserve the battery.
Back to work I go. Have a great day everyone, I'll pop back in when I can!

We still want to do an East Coast Animoot! Let me get the timing figured out about the remodeling. we're gonna be going gangbusters on it when the boys get home in late May. Maybe early July we could take a break on it. Paul may be in Paris for July, so we'd have some extra room in the house If Rosie, her sibs and Jen don't mind bunking in the basement, we could prolly wrangle it.
As soon as the snow melts, we can get the surveyor out here and get the ball rolling. It will take a few weeks to get the schedule set up, I think, but I'll try to find out something solid by the end of April. That should give Jen plenty of time to get a flight to Providence, Boston or Manchester, whichever is the cheapest. They are all equidistant from me, so I can pick her up wherever.

I let him know that we'd be happy to drop him off a package to show him just a little smidgeon of our appreciation if he sent his address. I also sent basically the same freepmail to SteelWolf. Oh, and I hope to get another 6 knives and snips off to you this weekend.

Yikes! That's just a little too scary for me!
Getting ready to head off to lunch, I'll be bringing my new "toy" with me! Catch up with you in a few!

stories that romantically link Spock and Captain KirkThere are so many things wrong with this I don't even know where to begin. I mean, even if they were both flamers, I still couldn't see it.
As Spock would say, the inherent illogic of the hypothesis is enough to rival even Dr. McCoy :)

Fedora - Sorry I missed you again last night. I was so tired that I couldn't convince myself to get up and turn on the PC, but I did watch. All I can say is...na na na naaa, na na na naaaa, hey, hey, hey, Goodbye! *grin*LOL! And they actually did the whole song and not just the refrain, which is a rare thing! :)
