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! |

Yup, 45° (or 48) in JUNE is just WRONG!

Mornin' chica, at least here my 80 is not sticky. For the last few weeks our weather here has been my kinda heaven. Dry and in the 80's and lower 90's. I am at my heat-lovin' best! :-)

Did you or Steve give Joshua instructions about how to handle those gravel slides so he can think about bein' prepared next time?
He was turnin' left. If there's time try to turn right, put down left leg to catch self and throw right leg over the bike to get off? Sometimes.... sometimes you can stop the skid and sometimes the bike goes down but you can just step off and not get hurt.

I agree! I spent a summer in Tucson, and it got up to 120° for several days. But the hottest I've ever felt was a July day in Houston that wasn't even over 100°. You could not pay me to go to Houston in summer.

Yep...Joshua didn't have his helmet on...my fault. I missed the spill post, but Eh - don't fret about that... all of us grew up without wearing bike helmets ever!
Talk about pluck, the little kid that used to own my pony prolly got dumped off of her 20 times... basically every time he ever rode her. We'd just pick him up and put him back on. Kids are durable... It's grown ups that can't take the spills. I got thrown off a couple years ago and hurt for a week!

I think Steve actually might have taught him something last night after they rode to the store for the ice cream. I got on my bike and rode down to watch them practicing in the church parkinglot down the street...he had him driving through gravel, but I never saw him slip.
Although I don't know if anything coulda stopped this slide...he turned the same instant he hit the gravel, going too fast and went down FLOP right on his face and right side...seemed instantaneous.
Remembering it, I ran over to him and it seemed like I just flew...like my legs didn't even move. I was standing in front of my driveway and he fell in the neighbor's driveway, so he wasn't too far, but still a bit of a distance. I ran, jerked him up, dragged his bike out of the driveway and in to the neighbor's yard, still holding him and then ran back with him in my arms...and I don't recall ever being out of breath! Shaking, but not winded.
Adrenalin...good stuff that!

I don't mind dry and hot either, chica! It's the weather that causes your clothes to stick to you that is the WORST!

I hate that weather, too. Luckily we rarely get it up that way.
Heh...brings to mind the many cars with vinyl seats we had growin' up. Getting out of the car after sittin' for awhile in shorts was like pulling off a biiiiiiig band-aid. Ouch!
