The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...That none have seen but we alone.

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 a race! I'm gonna read 'em as I have time.

Good strategy--trying to get me to lower my guard while you race through into Book 4. . . :)

I guess it all depends on how spread out the city is. If it's large enough, you don't feel as cramped when your trying to run errands, etc.

I live in a suburb called Kendall, which used to be mostly Everglades. Now it's one of the most heavily populated areas in Dade County.

Maybe you should sub the cold for the heat! :-)

Fromholz' home town is in my county. 'Bout 20 miles from where I was born. The places he wrote about I know well. And one of the people he mentions there was an old friend of the family. I relate to Texas Trilogy very well. I can't hear it without tears. But I am always surprised when I hear people who aren't from the area around Bosque county or even Texas say they relate to it in that same way.... I thought it was just cause I'm from there.

Finances are tight, so I had to choose between a pedicure and my eyebrows. My eyebrows won! LOL!!

I'll just paint a quick French on my feet before I leave.

It is likely! :-)

Well, not a parka. I don't own one of those. But, I have packed a warm enough jacket for weather in the 60's.

I hate to say this, but the jacket kinda clashes with my tropical top. But, if it's chilly the jacket will be closed and no one will notice. :-)

Heh... I'm sure you've heard Kevin Fowler's "Beer, Bait, and Ammo"? I can relate to that song... there were lots of places like that around the U.P.! ;)

It was just a bit of fun!

Well, I am at least going to get a haircut. Got an appt.

All this talk about you guys getting pedicures when I will be lucky to not have dirt in my fingernails. It just isn't me! I don't even know how to have the conversation.

Here, too. Gotta wonder about the little stores that serve as both a bait shop and a deli...

I have one, if you want me to bring it... 'course, it's yellow and green, with a big letter "G" on the back...
