The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

And after the missed approach, she decided to take a flyin' leap into the creek. :~D

Check out the movies in the post after the one linked above, too.

I didn't catch the flyin' leap in a movie, unfortunately.... the movies are other things. :~D

Yep...we got the exact one specified on the order form that came with the cards...except it's electric, not gas. We don't have a gas hook-up over there so I couldn't get gas even if I'd wanted to.

The microwave won't be anything fancy...but that's ok...it will get sold with the house whenever we move. The one we looked at will go up over the range, in the same location as the broken one.

We'll have all functioning appliances.

I'm drying jeans right now...in the morning I'm going to wash some tee-shirt and blouses, and then some towels...because I have two "Bounce" dryer sheets that came gratis with the dryer!

Goood morning happy campers! My colleagues are driving me nuts. (I'm too much of a fuddy-duddy to enjoy watching them consume large amounts of alcohol and discuss lewd topics every evening.) Can't wait to get home. *sigh*

I'll trade you my colleagues for your instruments. (I doubt the instruments get snotty)

Ok, I'm off to wallyworld. Must get a new paperback to read and buying them at the airport is too expensive.

Hehehe....if you were in Washington, I'd recommend the used paperback selection at The Store next to Hair's place.
