The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

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!

That's about like my Grandma's cucumber salad. I like. She makes it rather sweeter than I do when I'm doing her recipe, though.

Also like cucumbers with a yogurt garlic dressing. Or olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Well, it's not that much of a fee, so if the person wants to pay using their credit card I'll let 'em. It asked me if I wanted to upgrade when Hair tried to do it that time...I'll just say "OK" this time.

Whatever the sprouter sells for, that's what the knife fund wil get though...currently $10.50 but who knows? There are nine people watching it. I don't know if that is significant...but maybe there'll be a bidding war?? LOL!! Wouldn't that be a hoot if it sold for like $25?

I've got it all boxed up with a thank you note and an inventory of the part of it...it's ready to go. Just needs an address.

Any other eBay tips, words of wisdom to impart? Now that I don't have that credit card issue on my mind, I'm pretty excited!

We drained about 2/3 of the water out of the pool. Putting in fresh. The algaecide STUNK. Made the jedis smell nasty!

*sniff*

I miss my two feet o' garden space from last year! My bitty herb garden (had dill, for one) and my zucchini plants.

Someday I can hopefully have a garden again.

I'm really homesick today. Guess it's just the weekend comin' on.

Hopefully the nine watchers aren't Hobbit Holers just keeping an eye on it! ;-)

Good luck, seriesly. Usually the majority of the bidding happens on the last day, in my experience. So it may still go up a bit.

Evening Sam - nice fish your buddy has there. Ya know, we just gotta try some bowfishing down there. If that doesn't work we can try it your way, rod and reel. How does that sound, compadre?

Almost normal... still moving slow, but doing some low-impact stuff. Yesterday tried out my new pressure-washer for the first time. It was big fun. Used it to clean up the cedar outdoor chairs.

It's pretty neat. And wow... is it fast.

Back from Gypsygirl's walk, she was ready to return, it's a bit warm for someone wearing a fur coat.

Ramius, that sounds like a fine machine, beats the heck out of an old pump sprayer. :-)

Sam, I think it's a capital idea, think Ramius would be interested in bowfishing and reglar fishing. I'd suggest we not try any noodling, though.

Always post vey generous positive feedback for the buyer. I post positive feedback as soon as I ship the item.

I just wish some sellers would remember to post positive feedback to me. Positive feedback is the "lubricant" that keeps eBay running.

Miss Cat is still giving me the business at times....guess she didn't like it at the vet's.

Yah, I'd say that noodling for sharks is a good way to be called "stumpy" by all yer friends. :-)
