The Hobbit Hole XV - Pass them by! Pass them by!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 09/02/2004 2:18:28 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Pass them by! Pass them by!

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!

Cool...

There's another thread this morning saying that Temple Mount is going to cave in during Ramadan.

I'll be setting up my "End of the World" sale on eBay.

No, that was premature volcanic erruption...there's a thread talking (again) about incrased earthquake activity. They're still watching.

Won't you know if it goes "Boom?"

I swear, there are even pink and purple leaves!

There is a tree on the street behind us, and I pass it every morning taking Joseph to school, that has colors for a short time every year that are a sort of day-glo magenta orange that is just STUNING! It is especially lovely early in the morning with the sunlight coming through the leaves.

ecurbh went to bed early, and when I went to go bed Gidget was in my spot. I didn't feel like waking her, so I slept on the couch, and I am not sure ecurbh noticed the difference till this morning!

And we have so many brilliant days that start off with mist...I love going out for a walk early in the day before that has completely burned off, but with the sunlight shining through the leaves like painted glass...

Have I mentioned that I love this time of year?

We may not know till the news reports it, really. When it used to puff and huff, we would sometimes get dusted with ash depending on which way the wind was blowing, but we didn't hear or 'feel' it.

I may look like a fool later, but I will state that mountain isn't going to go boom with much significance. It may huff and puff, but there isn't anything ~left~ in it to blow up. It's still exciting, and ecurbh and I very much want to go to Johnson Ridge again in the next couple weeks. I bet the scientists and park rangers at the visitor center are thrilled with the new activity after all this time spent talking past tense.

I'm a little nervous about what could happen, but also mildly disappointed that we're clear on the other side of the country. Like I've said before, we were in northern Oregon in 1980...but I was three and a half. I don't exactly remember much...

Forgot to heads-up you... FMA 50 available by Shinsen-Sonchou.

I got it last night. What an ending!!!! Is next week going to be a double episode? Or are there two weeks left.

I'm not telling the kids I have this one yet. I'll see if I can make it through to next week so they aren't left with that as a cliff-hanger.

I've got Madlax through 23 as of this morning and we've watched up through 20. It gets pretty good.

Nothing wakes Joshua up.

*chuckle*

re things being closed, it's a trusim on any post that the office you most need to visit is closed on the day you need to go there. Ie, yesterday I needed groceries. Commissary is closed on Mondays. *sigh* Badging office is closed on Fridays- and don't you know the only days I've ever *needed* to go there were Fridays. :)
