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

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! |

Yah... the key is noise and light. Burglars want things to be quiet and dark and sneaky. Any unexpected loud bells and whistles and bright light and they're pretty much gonna beat feet.

Some years ago, after the beach house was broken into... I got some of those squealing things and motion sensor lights.
Another thing I did was to take some fishing line and sorta bundle it in a messy tangle down the side walkway of the house, with some cans fulla rocks tied here and there in the thing. Was a noisy tanglefoot. It was right under my bedroom window, and nobody was going to be able run, walk or crawl through there without making a heck of a racket.

I have seriously considered planting holly outside the jedis windows. But I worry if there was a fire and they had to get out, I'm sure they still could but would be painful.
I'm reading about torsion leaves...

That's actually a really good idea.
And... if there was a fire... they wouldn't even notice the holly, even if there were a few scratches.

Just got an email from Djerry in Djibouti. The Camillus CQB1 with his name and our new Hobbit Hole logo just arrived. After reading the second half of his email, I've come to the conclusion that all we have done still isn't enough to express even a fraction of the gratitude owed to him and others like him.
I just got back from my R&R and there were two packages waiting
for me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the knives. I am not
used to people doing things for me and to have a blade with my name on it is
a bit overwhelming. I will continue to pass out the blades to deserving
troops in the name of the Hobbit Hole. From all of them, thanks for the
good work.
My family was happy to see me but I worked too hard on the honey do's and
was almost glad to get back here. It is a shame that I can't make a decent
living back home in Mississippi but once you get to your mid 50's people do
not want to hire you. This is the best that I can do for my family and it
is good that I can do it for them.
Again, thanks for everything.

Thanks for sharing 300wm.

I'm guessing she should be to Ohio by now, at least. Probably all settled in for the night.
