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

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

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 don't know if they sold SSQ's name or not. We don't get too much liberal mail around here, if you know what I mean.

Bonzai garden? The sort that leaps out and attacks you? Bonzai!

Ugh, the afternoon is no less hectic than the morning. An end is in sight, though.... I want this stupid computer finished and moved before 6, so I can go to dinner with a friend, and then to anime club.

That garden had some even bigger ones but I don't have those pictures hosted. The two that are up on pedestals were on slowly rotating turntables. I am not sure why. We did not ask because we did not speak Japanese.

You've got no one to blame but you. And ninjas, of course.

Ugh. It's bad when Norton and Office won't play together like good little programs...

Dunno....depends on what's going on. Gots some limbs to saw and leaves to rake and rooms to clean. Washer and dryer get here on Saturday.

I like that tune. Or did...until we had played it about a zillion times.

It's one piece most people recognize, so we do it a LOT when we play out.

Pretty!

I think those are very cool! Never seen a bonzai garden up close, though.

Back from class. Time to write.

*sigh*

I'm really doubting my ability to finish this before Christmas, unless I say something like "And then the goblins apologized for all the trouble they had caused, the princess' parents came and got her and Katy went home to her world and everyone lived happily ever after"...which doesn't really work.

At least it's more fun to write than the NaNo project.
