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!

OK, you've got us beat on the temperature, today at least. ;)

No rain here in 3 weeks, though. Drought conditions starting to develop.

Last week we were getting mid-to-high 90s... may yet today, although the clouds may keep it a little cooler.

The sun is just starting to come through the door.

On the otherhand, a sunroom would be better in winter than a shaderoom. :)

heh, true enough for today but we know you and Rose have higher temps and they are much longer in duration than ours are up here.

We spent two summers in College Station, so we're at least aquainted with your summers. :-)

Heh. I'm trying to figure out how to put shades/blinds/curtains or something on that one wall. Think I might just tape posters on it. :)

I suspect College Station gets hotter than Austin, being east and a little south of us.

No relief from the heat here until October, most likely.

Yeah, well, when ours is full, as it usually is for the 9, 11 and 5:30 Masses on Sunday, there are 450-500 people in it!

Shrewsbury looks like Austin about now, we've even got some humidity cause there's supposed to be a thunderstorm this afternoon! I hope it comes while we're in Church so it cools the place down some!
