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! |

You're welcome, I'm sure. Don't think the current occupants will mind.
Something about the Undead Toaster comes to mind...

Thank you so much :D Ive never bonded with a pet the way I did with Gizmo. I had a cat back in the early 90s that I loved very much, but we adopted him out to another family when we had erin because we didnt know how she would react to cat hair after having been in an incubator for two months...turns out the child has no allergies to cat hair...but at least I know that cat was in good hands. Gizmo, however, shows my nothing but pure love. I hate to be of disservice to that.

Mornin'!
Man, every bone and muscle in my body hurts today. I didn't realize cleaning closets constituted a full workout! *laughing*
RE: the encyclopedias. I received an e-mail from a teacher in a low-income school who asked if she could have them. I'll e-mailed her back saying "OF COURSE!", so let's see if she comes to get them.
I wouldn't want to do e-Bay only because the shipping of this box would kill me. That is, if I could even manage to get it to the post office without a forklift. ;-D
Need coffee...

Mornin' here I am on my day off...
Luke forgot his glasses, Jr. forgot his practice stuff for football. I'm on my way out.
Nana said "I thought Luke didn't have his glasses, but I didn't say anything..."
Great, she picks ~today~ to stop talking...
Well, with any luck it'll be raining when I come back so I can't work in the yard. At least it'll pi$$ off the nayber.

Nngh... I had a really bad night. Woke up around two and just lay there trying to sleep until after five.

I'm heading to the volunteer dealie in a few minutes here. Isn't as much to do this week, so I'm going in slightly later.
And later I'm starting the chili.

We were supposed to get a few inches of accumulation last night.
False advertising!

If'n I get a job where I can take the bus if it's really slippery...we can't get enough snow!
It's only the driving in it I don't care for.
Got that interview tomorrow, so...maybe!

Maybe I'll be able to ride the bus to work, that is.
OK, I'm off.

I sortof like driving in snow, if I'm not in any hurries... That's what I kindof like about the snow we get here, it's occasional enough that it stops everything else from being important, and life slows down for a day or two. (you know what a rat race I'm in after all ;~D)
But I don't have a good feel for what your van would drive like in snow.

I don't mind powdery snow that isn't churned into slushy. That's almost fun to drive in. As long as you make any turns gradually, it's not hard to drive in. Makes ya feel like you're floating. ;-) And on back roads where you're the only car out, the road all white up ahead without any tracks yet (or only snowed over ones) and hearing the sound of the tires in the snow...it's strangely soothing.
But I don't like driving in slushy conditions, and with the amount of traffic we have in town, I can't see snow *not* turning slushy and slick in a hurry. That, I don't like.
OK, NOW I'm out the door.
