The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

I'd better apologize too, in that case.

Cuz I snickered when I read your post.

Gallows humor.

It's... all right. I didn't really know the guy, and I think humor is a way we sort of try to "ward off" the sort of thing happening to us. It's kind of like people saying "knock on wood".

It's just kind of a shock, coming after the break and everything.

Oh - part of me is, but I am usually tightly regulated by the other side of me. ;~D

That's gotta be at least the second-cutest Alpaca I've ever seen. %)

Cute kidlet though... :-)

Another pic from the Christmas Parade...

I can say there there is VERY little chance I could have gotten Bay to follow that thing anywhere.

You do gotta wonder what that horse is thinking about all this.

[sigh] "If only we horses had opposable thumbs, we'd be running the world instead of these goofballs..."

Wouldn't it be fun if Bob and Kay would bring an Alpaca down to the beach sometime?

If only just to let the neighbors try to figure out whey there's wierd Alpaca tracks in the sand...

They have three Alpacas ;~D and they're not very big... not much bigger than a Labrador.

Alpaca. Almost as silly as a llama.

I think they may be sillier. You almost have to take a llama more seriously because of their size. :~D
