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!

*sigh* Hope it doesn't rain.

I'm not looking forward to filling out another lonnnnnng form by hand. Essay questions...goody. You'd think at LEAST they'd have these forms in e-format to make this easier. But nooooooooo.

Oh, OK...I can do that. Where would I need to meet you if I did?

I'm mostly worried it's gonna rain...it's a bit of a walk from the bus station to Student Services.

If we did ride back together, we should stop at the wine store.

Oh, yeah.... wine...

Ok, you know where the oval is, right? Go to the top of that and cross the street (Laurel) and keep heading away from campus. The World's Ugliest Building is on the left, call me when you get there, from the lobby.

mmmmm....whine...

It's hot here and getting hotter. Heat advisory today and for the next three days (at least). Supposed to get in the upper 90s or above with heat index of 115-ish. All that with 52% humidity.

But I know we're not the only ones experiencing this.

Actually we're only supposed to get into the seventies for one glorious day, tomorrow.

Now, up in the mountains, it's ten degrees cooler... sister and I saw lots of nice open spots and round hills that would make great Hobbit Holes...

But it's a dry heat! At least it's drier than back home.

It ain't dry here. And I just heard that a plant about 20 miles from here had a major nitric acid spill. No threat here, but that area has been evacuated and there's a hugh yellow cloud.
