The Hobbit Hole XIII - Let them pass! Let them pass!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 07/13/2004 9:49:23 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)

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!

Ok, baked the last cookie, packaged them, and all I hafta do is let it get to something close to lunchtime. I have to run to the bank anyway, if I want to deposit my pay this week, so I'll just do both errands at once.

Heh...I'm flattered you consider me a gardening type. I'd ask Nana or run to the Garden Center. But it sounds like something is eating them.

One of the others should have a better idea about what you need to put on them.

and still hasn't started on it...

bastidges...

I gotta finish paintin' Jrs room this weekend (okay, so I have to start actually painting, but the room is ready). I remembered last night why I didn't take the closet door off and fixt it last time.

It's off now. Rather than try to fix the hinges that have been painted, I'm gonna just buy new ones.

Well...we'll see. I'm just not finding it to be as fascinating as others seem to think.

If you didn't like the first one, you probably won't like the others, either. It's something you have a taste for, or you don't. Do you like English humor, usually?

like Jen said, if you're not into it by now, probably no sense continuing.

what I liked most about them was Douglas Adams's way with language

Good morning, Ruthy! What a fine lookin' breakfast!

Speaking of which...I gotta buy you a drink at Entmoot 2005 for telling me about those little stovetop espresso thingies. I've always thought I'd never be able to afford an espresso maker...never knew I could get one for under fifteen bucks!

Of course, I did some searching and the true coffee snobs don't consider that espresso...but it's close enough for me. Very, very good. I'm glad I got that pot!

Certain phrases have a way of sticking with you: "hung in the air exactly the way a brick doesn't", "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with", "share and enjoy".

Sometimes.

I may come back to them. I've got a vey long list. But for right now they're just one that "you have to read this list" where I put Atlas Shrugged, On the Road and a few others...

I didn't "not" like it. But I finished it and it's kinda like "yeah? so?"

Glad you enjoyed your party, BTW! I didn't get a response in time...fooey on me for not sending a request earlier!

Just got an e-mail from the gal who was hosting it, though. She's gonna send me more info on the Young Republicans group that's just forming. Can't wait to find out more!
