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!

Oh, you shoulda heard the attack she had when THAT news story came out.

The day ~after~ I had taken the kids to the fair, no less.

Fortunately, it was a different fair.

She's still pretty groggy from the surgery. That's probably a good thing. Wife got home about an hour ago.

Well folks, it's 10 o'clock, so I've got to go get milk now. See you all tomorrow.

And thanks so much for your support tonight. I'm ready to face another day!

Groggy, eh? So not the time to visit her with a bottle of wine?

par for the course

You remind me to report the year's first sighting of the Plaid Crested Duffer, a harbinger of Spring, on the greensward behind my abode.

From my Field Guide:

"The Plaid Crested Duffer is known
for its colorful plumage and similarly
colorful calls, which range from the common
"Fore!" to the slightly less common "Fu

I hiccupped while typing and lost my place. Sorry.

Might be amusing, though, if the docs gave her the right sort of pain meds.

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry


...nite folks

Heh heh! I dunno. The stuff may seem pretty silly, maybe rediculous...but somewhere someone might need to know just exactly how to do what I'm doing and there it is...pictures and everything.

Yah, but that's the cool thing about it! Isn't it just wonderful that you're able to document and share something like this?

I wasn't being sarcastic... I really mean it... look at the hobbit-hole group. Here we all are, a bunch of people that would never, ever have even met even ten years ago. But here we are.

Neat stuff. :-)

Yeah...and you wouldn't believe all the people who seem to be interested! Friends, family members, and even people in my Sunday School class!

I'm having fun.

But I gotta go, it's getting late and Steve will be home soon. I really can't wait till ShootMoot!
