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!

What on earth are you doing?

If and when Steve and I move, I'm going to rent one of those "PODS". Heard of 'em?

I went through a Cat 1 when I was a kid...maybe a couple, but I remember one for sure. It went through during the night. My dad sat up all night monitoring it and I sat up a lot too.

It was dramatic, even for a small storm.

One of my more vivid memories growing up was sitting up all night while Hurricane Camille blew through my hometown. She'd hit the coast with top winds at about 200 mph, and was still doing 125 when she came through, almost 70 miles inland. My Mama, two younger sisters, one older brother two dogs and I were crammed into the hallway in the middle of our house, just off the kitchen. Daddy was sitting at the breakfast table, just next to a pair of windows. About 3 in the morning the wind picked up to a howl, and Daddy slowly scooted his chair back away from the windows about a foot. That's the only nervousness he showed all night.

Heh heh! My dad paced and drank coffee. The house shook and the lightening was almost continuous.

I don't remember the name of this storm, but it had to be in the early 70s...

I'm gonna see if I can find out...
