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!

Right now they're hitting 80 mph. But she's not moving quickly, so it'll be a slow pounding wind and rain.

Lovely.

How much of it is going to make it your way? Are you at risk of any flooding?

I don't think we're going to get hit directly. Just rain.

There might be some flooding in areas. The City has already prepared for that (after experiencing Gaston).

If my house floods, it's a pretty safe assumption there'll be an ark somewhere...

Rain isn't a problem for me (other than washing into the nayber's yard). It's wind I've got to worry about (trees).

I think so! Now I wonder about all the truckers that were standing around too.... whether they were paying attention. Was I the only one in the store that didn't know what was happenin' there? LOL

Good thing the wind is not going to be too strong your way. When Katrina went through Hattiesburg MS,(my hometown) she was still going about 100mph. My brother lost 28 trees in his yard. There were only two that would have threatened the house, and fortunately, they both fell away from it.
