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!

"24 hour Farm Store"

I wuz gonna ask what that was, but thought better of it. I mean... sometimes maybe you just really gotta have some seeds in the middle of the night. Or a tractor. It could happen. :-)

Ha! Good answer if you'd never seen one. I used to think they had the best chocolate ice cream. (way back when I was a kid).

Denied!

Incidentally... watching the special 2-hour Amazing Race... lots of thrills and spills! (I'll say no more)

My mom is 51 years old. Sheesh!

Don't mean to be ugly Ruthy, but yo Mama need to get a Big Damn Grip! I'M 51 years old, and I'm still raising my kids!! And we're fixing to do the work ourselves putting a 1600 sq. ft. addition on to our house! She has an 'old lady' attitude that she needs to ditch!

OK, MY rant's off, now. ;o)

SSQ is constantly amused when I regale him with stories from the Hobbit Hole. He's amazed at what the Internet has done as far as connecting people who are geographically widely separated, and may not have even met, but have become good friends because of shared interests. It's a phenomenon, that's fer sure!

Hah, yes, please no spoilers! Is it done yet? I'll give it an hour after it finishes and start poking around my sources.

Whew. Finished off my project proposal, took a quiz, figured out how to maybe get the software I need, and am trying to work up the gumption to just ask this professor to be my advisor tomorrow. We'll see.

Ooooh, yay, the first hour is... accessible, already. Depending on my speeds I might get a fix in tonight...

Yah... I know what you mean. Two back-to-back weeks of travel had me thinkin' that I was doomed to live out of a suitcase. It's exhausting stuff... this travel.

Did your house-sitter survive without madness?

Both hours had some excitement! Show finished just over 20 minutes ago.

Good luck with the advisor query!

Thanks, I'm nervous as heck but I've got to do it...

Looking forward to seeing the Race. At my current speeds I'll be watching it sometime next week ;-)
