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! |

*sigh* It's stoopid, but I'm still fretting about that left hand turn across traffic that I gotta make to get to this place.
Interview? No sweat. One itty bitty left hand turn? Scary!
Actually considered going up to Drake and going to Timberline and back so I could do a right-hand turn instead...but it's a much, much longer way, and just silly.
I'm getting better, but...

There's a McDonald's on the opposite corner, you might be able to make a left at the light, turn into that, and get out in the right direction, I don't know.
Or turn down on Timberline and use the next light to turn around.

Yeah - that's kindof how I feel about it... I don't remember if it's been 10 years or not.

I supppose. But turning around involves going across traffic, too...though of course it's different with a light.
If there was a turn lane I wouldn't mind so much. I can handle waiting for the right moment. But pulling into the middle of the road...that makes me nervous.

There is no year of the spider on the Chinese calendar.
On the Corin calendar, I expect you have Year of the Spider. To say nothing of Year of the Scorpion, Year of the Fire Ants, and maybe Year of the Giant Facing-Sucking Thing.

Well, we are still shown within the cone of death on this new one, but it looks like going the other way, thankfully.

Apparently, Falls Creek (where I went yesterday) is all ready...beds made up with fresh linens, the kitchen is stocked and volunteers are lined up to deliver meals to the cabins.
Still no evacuees.
The rumor is that no one is willing to leave the Astrodome to come here. It's just a rumor, but it sure is strange. They were supposed to arrive yesterday.

*drool*
Almost makes me wish I had a deep frier...it'd be much easier that way. On the other hand, the last thing I need is easy access to homemade deep fried foods...

We used to make apple turnovers....baked instead of fried.
I guess you could do the same with any kind of filling.

Probably! But I dunno if they'd be quite as good.
Still, I've rarely met a pie or pastry I didn't like. Not that any of them are very healthy...
