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!

Should I tell them about how a little bit ago when you were setting the traps that I heard it (from all the way outside) click and you yelling "YOWCH!"?

Ain't never getting back to that shape again.

I was never in that good a shape. I just want to get to the point where I can once again not have to shop in the "Big and Tall" section...

I'd rather find a banjo instead of a mouse carcass.

*shudder*

Yeah - the store owns it. That's the assessed value... beats me.... It would seem it has at least some commercial value if not residential value. It could be that Thurston County is behind the curve on values.

I didn't study it to see how small that lot is but it's less than an acre. The store is assessed at $850,000.... Just grist for the mill. The lot we rent is actually two parcels, the 2 acres the this trailer is on is $58,000 (I think) and we couldn't find the 5 acres. I can't explain why the land shouldn't be worth more than that. With area values....

Reminds me of Jeff Foxworthy.

If you're family tree does not fork, you might be a redneck.

If you go to family reunions to meet wimmin, you might be a redneck.

*grin*

That said, no tellin' how many more of us have some wacky family histories.

I could fill a bookcase.

I'd rent a backhoe and a dumpster.

What fun!
