The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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!

On second thought, I couldn't write like Robert Jordan. If I had to write a scene where an elderly lady moons about some aged general for a couple of chapters, I'd hafta puke.

Just write a macro that randomly inserts " 'You wooly-headed sheep-herder!' she sniffed at him, pulling her braid" every other page.

Oh, dear, how could I have forgotten that?

Actually, that person should be the patron saint of NaNoWriMo. He puts up excessive word count that accomplishes nothing every year.

I'm sorting through the pile of junk mail that's been growing on my table for over a month.

I'm trying to get rid of the dead tv. And thinking about reorganizing my books. And cleaning off my desk.

Hey, do you remember me telling you about the hawk in my yard by the coop?

It's been out there for 2-3 days, just hanging out in the back yard! We go out and let the chickens out and let them run around outside the coop and stay out there with them, but then we put them back in the coop and when we go in the hawk comes back and sits on our fence, in our tree...in the grass!

It's a MASSIVE hawk...not a little thing!

I've got pictures...will post them when I have more time. (Steve'll be home any minute. He has pollution collection event. Lord knows what he'll come home with.)
