The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

We're getting good rain now too, yesterday and today. I don't curse any rain we get after the start of June, by July it'll be so dry I like to put that off as long as possible!

Good morning!

I'm sure I've left people off my ping list...but my intentions are good!

G'nads...thank you so much for hosting the moot! You have a truly beautiful home there - the sort of place I dream about having someday: plenty of land and off the beaten track, with room for a garden and a good patch of woods, porches for sitting and talking - that was just wonderful, especially early in the morning with the birds singing and the air still cool. *sigh* It was lovely. And the food! I wish't I'd had a hollow leg! It was really good...especially the shrimp and the Bambi bits. And it was great getting to see thegirl again! She's a really special little girl. Wish Margaret could have been there, too. I know she was very disappointed that it didn't work out.

Thanks to all who brought guns and ammunition! Coming from knowing *nothing* about shooting, I feel like I at least know enough to know I wanna learn more. And I want a .22 rifle to play around with and a revolver of some sort for self-defence and target practice. I really liked the revolvers...the simplicity appeals to me. And they're purty...

OT and 2J - thanks again for playing music with me! I really enjoyed that. Wish we'd had more time, but I guess that'll have to wait for future moots. I was also a little disappointed that we didn't really get to hear g'nad sing. Again...just means we gotta meet again!

There were so many people who weren't able to make it - wish I could have met you, too! Next time?

I think Ladies Night only applies to members, though. But for $20, I'd make up the price of membership with only 2 nights.

I want an AK-47!

LOL Steve told me on the way home that he thinks he best stick with getting me diamonds...then a scratch would be the worst I could ever do to him.

(Background for those that don't know...it was suggested that Steve should get me rifles instead of diamonds as they seemed to impress me more.)

I still think you should get a matching set! ;-)

I couldn't hold it up...you've got more upper body strength than I do! That was why the little .22 was fun...nothing to it.
