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!

'evening y'all...

I just found out I have the apartment to myself for the weekend. WooHoo! --I mean, uh-oh...

Guess I'm doing housecleaning and such.

I do have a sudden desire to play miniature golf and drive go-cart racers...but not by myself.

Maybe these would be interested.

Not kilt! Just got back and got settled from taking Rosie back to Tacoma. Have to leave again in a bit to pick up ecurbh at work. Been a lot of activity today for a hobbit, I'd like to take a nap!

I know! I'm fading fast though! I almost called ya to see if you wanted to leave early... the timing was such that it was almost not worth coming home first.

I would have stopped and gotten an oil change.... almost did... but I had both dogs with me and only one leash.

One of the cats is sitting on top of the bookshelf - Tam, I think. Which is fine as long as he doesn't get stuck, or knock down the wireless router.

Halvah assaulted me as soon as I walked in to complain about food in her water bowl. I guess I'm accepted as part of their world now.

'Evening! Not much action on the sunroom....a utilities-type guy came to mark some lines up. Miss Cat is wondering what happened to her "deck" with the cheap, plastic green stuff (she likes to sharpen her claws on it.)

OB - got the cat door. If Miss Cat can't fit through it I guess she'll have to go on a diet. :)

LOL, well, that's the nice thing about roadkill: it's always in season. :-)

Wow, those are great pics. Thanks for posting them. Looks like the Great North West mini-moot is well underway.

Great, got thecatdoor I see. LSA has got some plants dug up. She was moving some around and redid the bed around the shingle oak. Looking 'vey' good imho.

Sounds like Sunday should be a productive day at the new house on the prairie.

Thanks again for everything! I really, truly enjoyed our moot. It was good to just get out and away and relax for awhile, and I loved getting to actually *meet* the critters I've seen pictures of for so long!

Looks for we're in for another evening of trying to remember names. Yay...

A point well taken, we've done our bit as well to fund his retirement home at the lake.

note to self; pick off ALL the gravel.

Yep, that'd be Tam. Your only trouble will come if Halvah decides to try to follow him...she's not exactly Miss Graceful.
