The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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 can go without meat...but not good coffee.

We're going to have to work on that, I can see. Buy all the coffee you like, but I don't room with people living alternate lifestyles.

Morning! Slept in because it's spring break and I could. I'll be going to work in a few, for a couple hours at least.

Wish I knew whether spring break means they're MORE likely to make interview decisions this week or LESS likely.

Ugh...sore throat is now turning into general feeling-like-crap. I guess I can be grateful it didn't start this weekend when it would have been more inconvenient.

Not like I have anywhere to go, though. If I go home...I have to do more work than I'm doin' here. And I have no furniture.

We'll see. Just wish I was DONE moving, insteada facing an evening of mopping and scrubbing and moving the last few boxes. I'm getting shivery and achy.

Ugh, no fun! See if you can call some of the sibs and guilt them into helping, since you're sick...

No amount of guilt would make them clean. Move, yes. Clean, no.

Trust me on this.

At least for the most part it's just sweeping and quickly mopping. They won't expect things to be dustfree or anything at all that serious. And I'm more or less caught up, since I had things neat for the showing...just have gotten behind as I've been moving.
