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 see any Mamas in pink curlers? Saw a couple of them plastic shower caps.

Then you'd love yesterday's thong thread.

We used to have a strawberry patch and we'd put rubber snakes in there to scare the birds away.

The problem was that we'd have to keep moving the snakes around because the birds got wise.

I loved Twin Peaks!

Still have the soundtrack on cassette somewhere.

We're on a quest to find the worst of the worst SF/fantasy/adventure/whatever movies.

Then go for MST3K, then you get hilarious running commentary along with the cheese.

Snakes might work, too.

Hey, I made yogurt using the heating pad...worked GREAT! Much better even than the attic yogurt.

I just made the culture like I usually do, poured it in a quart-sized canning jar and wrapped a towel around it, then wrapped the heating pad around it and tied it in place, then sat it on my countertop and actually forgot about it. It sat there for 13 hours till I woke up abruptly at 4:30am and remembered it. I went in and got it and put it in the fridge. I tasted it a bit ago and it's got a perfectly tart taste! Mmmmm!

You're gonna have to write a book- Look out Carla Emery!

When I get back, I'm gonna have a go at sourdough. I want to try your starter recipe.

LOL! No...we raised two of them specifically to eat. They never were pets and that chicken, believe it or not, was only six and half weeks old.

No...we had six pet hens and 2 of them died a while back...broke everyone's heart. The back yard isn't the same with out them.

Maybe covering the brownie with foil for part of the cooking time? Take it off near the end?

Heh heh...you missed it, eh? The Hole went through that entire meat chicken experience with me...g'nad was even the one that put in the order for me and I got them while at ShootMoot in Missouri.

But our two hens that passed away are buried under the shady shrub, where they liked to hang out on hot days...

:-)

Nope, I'm afraid the only writing down of this stuff I'll ever do is here in the Hole and it's readers all HHD's.
