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!

YOu think I could use bacon grease instead of the cisco...I don't have any crisco...

I suppose so. I always use butter.

We may get snow tonight.

Of course, they've said that before. I imagine it'll just be very damp and frosty, and the foothills will get more snow.

I can't wait to dig out my snowshoes! Then again, it'd be nice to hike again a few times before winter hits, so either way is good!

I've substituted lard for Crisco in biscuits, too, and that's almost like bacon grease.

I bet it'd taste great!

Wish I could have a couple...

But it's fun to play in!

Wintry mix, on the other hand... *shudder*

One nice thing about here is that I gather they don't really get "sticking" snow down at this level - it snows, but doesn't last - but we can always drive up a couple thousand feet if we wanna play in the snow.

Back home, if there's a bad winter, there's nowhere to snowshoe. Last winter we really only had a few months of decent weather for it.

Granted, there we could walk out the front door and head out into the woods. I'm gonna miss that. *sniff*

Cold feet are bad. Wet feet are bad too.

Cold wet feet are the worst!

Finally broke down and bought some snow boots...I have been using my safety shoes which do a good job of keeping the wet out, but they don't have much warming capability.
