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!

Get a temp job until after ShootMoot....then you can take off whenever.

What a great idea!! She's only got 6 weeks until Shootmoot anyway! There are surely several temp agencies in the area, and sometimes, they're a great way to 'try out' a job to see if you like it, or for an employer to try YOU out with no obligation on their part.

grrrrrr....

When I left this mornin' I heard the sound of chainsaws (mmmm...chainsaws). The naybers was havin' some trees trimmed.

I get home this evenin' and they've taken out a whole row of trees and bushes between us. I had a nice flower garden going in front of their hedge. Now it's like they built a picture window lookin' into my yard. I have no choice but to put up a privacy fence...or have them kilt.

The bizarre thing is, they're doin' all this work to solve a drainage problem.

Maybe I'll plant bamboo. That'd show 'em...

Nana's doing okay, thanks. Wife is staying with her a little while longer. Prolly until they give her something to help her sleep.

I don't like neighbors. Never wanted them.

Well, I take that back. I just love my neighbor across the street to death. We take care of each other. But even she knows I'd just soon there be five acres between us! ;-)

It's blowing a gale out there! The Big Windy has begun. Remember how I nearly got blown off the road last year? It blows like this ever Spring. "The wind comes sweepin' down the plain" and it means bidness. My windows rattle with the gusts!

These are nice folks. But my time to work or relax in the yard is limited. When I'm in the backyard, I don't want to be disturbed. Don't come over to talk to me about what I'm doing.

"I'm trying to do yard work and you're wasting my time..."

That's where an MP3 or portable CD player with headphones comes in handy. You can wear them while you're working and ignore the neighbors, and they think you just can't hear them. ;o)
