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!

Evenin' to ya, Ramius.

Just got through watching the Season Premiere of Survivor: Guatemala.

That is one reality show I wouldn't ever want to find myself on. Yikes!

An 11-mile hike through a sweltering rainforest is no way to start a picnic.

Evening!

I've got Singing in the Rain from Netflix...saving it for tomorrow night.

Bush's giving his speech from New Orleans now. Wonder if he'll just say "fill it in."

I'll have to find a transcript of his speech later. It's a bit late for diving in at the live thread.

I'm making something for dinner. Not sure what it is, but it's got lentils, barley, diced tomaters, sausage (kielbasa), carrots and onion. Sure smells good, in any case. Almost done.

Actually, that's a pretty nifty idea.

Seems like it'd get messy (condensation), but still...that's pretty smart thinking.

I made an ad hoc squash casserole: Spaghetti squash, eggs, cheese, spinach, green pepper, and onion. Turned out pretty well. Hmmmm....should have put in mushrooms.

Evening all. Not to rub it in or anything, but it's my Friday!

Hi ecurbh!

mmmm...Friday....

I was supposed to have today and tomorrow off, but the backlog of work has tossed that idea out the window.

Maybe next weekend. Or around Halloween.

Evenin'... sittin' outside at da hotel. Thought about going inside to watch the speech but I really don't want to watch it surrounded by a bunch of lame california liberals. :-)

Don't feel like going to my room yet... so... I guess I'll pick up the highlights later.

I have it on, but the kids are chattering away so I'm only catching every 3rd or 4th sentence. :-D

He's basically listing what we've done and what will be done to help Katrina victims.

I got it on, but not paying full attention... I'm trying to balance the checkbook, but the bourbon ain't exactly helping. ;~D

Good idea. I'm surprised that the 'seal the border' crowd isn't crying for a wall high enough to prevent them from getting in. Makes more sense than the live thread does. :-)

I demand equal regulation for tornadoes then.

And earthquakes.

And blizzards.

And bad traffic. ;-D
