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!

You know, she probably was a good hunter. We rescued her. She had been living outside a business with some dogs and the people there had been throwing out scraps.

But she's very skittish. She likes to be a lap cat, but does not like you to pick her up. Even after nine years she won't tolerate that.

Ramius's kitty can climb trees too. She's declawed in the front but has claws in the back... and she can use the back ones to reach up and claw ya. She's a scrappy thing.

Cats, bah. If they catch mice, they earn their keep. Otherwise they'd better be pretty darn friendly.

Morning All - looks like another beautiful day, animals fed, coffee brewing and various and sundry opportunities abound.

Corin-G'nad may have some ideas about getting rid of the spiders, given his new job.

Miss Cat has had her morning medicine. I need to get the coffee brewing and decide what to have for breakfast.

Did some trimming along the fence line yesterday....took down that branch that was practically laying on the phone line. I think I need to get a Saws-All or something.

What are you putting them in so he can warm them up in the micro? He can't use the aluminum.

We're sitting here watching Formula One racing from Hungary being called by Japanese commentators. Strange.

Re: the side yard landscaping: See if you can get a few larger ( 6-8") river rocks to put in there, too. It will look more natural with a mix of sizes of rocks. Make it kind of meander along the side yard.

I love the taste of blackberries, but biting into the seeds hurts my teeth!

Great horsey pictures. I'll bet that was scary with the horse getting spooked! Glad you were safe.

OT-think electric chainsaw, costs about the same and ours has lasted for about 15 years. Ours is Craftsman.

Jen, glad your sister had a good visit, you think she'll emigrate as well?

Okay...will check 'em out.

I've got a few trees on that fence with diameters ranging from 1 1/2 to about 5 inches that I'd like to take out. Or maybe I should stick with the handsaw...I could use the exercise. :)
