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!

"W Stands for Women"

I saw that one too. We got 3 of the "W '04" bumper stickers, elf-boy's shirt, and the yard sign.

No letter from the NaNo folks, no. Sounds like your story will work nicely! My plot has some issues... I'm still trying to decide who the Mysterious Stranger really is... and I haven't decided whether to use first or third person.

I can't tell you how fun it is having girlfriends! And one of them is a secret conservative, like me. We have decided to try to sign up for the same classes next semester so we can help each other out again.

Tonight's more Escaflowne, yay!

Yeah, Cyn got here a couple hours ago. She is staying in the paddock, and Bay and pony are in the pasture so they can meet over the gate. Hair is uploading some pics now.

Cool pics! Congrats on the new equine. Is yer mountain behaving? My mom is all worried for you guys ;). We have done some serious gabbing and shopping this weekend. It's been fun.

In other news, Doughboy has torn the siding off of his family room and is building a box there. It is either a firebox for a fireplace or a funky lookin' bay window. Will take pictures in a moment. Wish I had the means of recording the ruckus. *shakes head*

Neat-looking new horse!--looks very sleek and well-groomed. I hope the issues between Bay and the newcomer get worked out in due time!

Did you see they circled my house again yesterday? I'm thrilled no end. They were obviously flying right toward my house, instead of just passing by.

What do you make of Kerry and the notecards? Everyone said he sounded like he knew the questions...I believe he got the questions and had the answers written down.
