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!

I wish I had a recipe!

The lady that was making them said her son was opening a pie shop in Broken Arrow...so if you're ever in my neck of the woods, we'll go get some!

Fried pies? That sounds sorta weird.

Well, you offered, and apparently lots of other people did too!

We're glad we were able to adopt a dog like her. She is a sweet dog.

She's a lucky dog!

They just said on the news that over a thousand volunteers showed up and had to be turned away.

Hey there...way to be, just trying to show up. I'm one of those that believes the Lord rewards our efforts, our intentions, even if we don't think we succeeded.

I've only been looing for one of these since 1982...

It's a lot smaller than it looks in the pic.

I agree! And it didn't go un-noticed...we made the news on every channel...it's saying something when volunteers are called for and volunteers came out in droves!

I finished reading Anne of Green Gables to the jedis Sunday night.

I bawled like a baby when Matthew Cuthbert died.

So...just exactly what is the appropriate response when your mother-in-law looks at you and says "My balls have holes in them." ????

If you gave her a dwarf response, would she slap yer face off?

They loved it. Yes, I read it when I was little but I don't recall it making me feel so bad!

Do you restore old phonographs, or whatever the proper term would be?

The guy that hosts the acoustic jam back home collects old records and old players...the ones with the big trumpet on 'em and such. Has a bunch of them in the barn where the jam is held...interesting thingamajiggers.

I really liked Matthew...he was such a sweet, gentle character.
