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!

Heh, I've noticed that quite often! When it actually is close, you know it...

I'll be looking forward to seeing it soon.

She told me they had pizza and burgers for dinner and that the burgers came from EatMoot. ;-)

Here they are. Foregive the messy yard. We have two doggies who drag everything back out the moment we go back in the house.

heh, ~were~ being the key word there. Actually the first cell hit giving us about nickel to quarter sized hail. The second cell hit just as the first hail was melting. Don't know if you can tell that from the pic (I tried to show the remnants of hail on the ground from the first and the new hail from the second.). Then the last two pictures are from the third cell, which was with a beautiful double rainbow (I wish I had thought to take the picture of the rainbow!).

Taught elf-boy how to swing a bat tonight. He has baseball practice tomorrow, and will show a considerable improvement, IMHO. Saturday at the game, the poor kid was holding the bat upside down (batting right-handed, but holding the bat left-handed), and swinging in slow motion around his waist. It was agonizing for me to watch him at bat. I can't believe the coach didn't catch what he was doing and try to correct it. Oh well. Now he knows how to hold the bat, how to swing it, and what not to swing at. I hope he remembers it tomorrow.

The hail must be the least of your problems, though... just look at those big green long snaky things that're fallin' outta the sky. Just dang... that would really freak me out. :-)
