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!

I could grow all kinds of vines on that thing...

You'd have to.... fast growing ones. It's contraband.

I bet they stood and looked at the driveway in disbelief.

"Honey.... someone stole the gate..."

Don't be so judgemental. You have to think what it must be like, growing up gateless, seeing those people with their ornate gates just rubbing it in your face - it's no wonder.

You could install some hobgoblins by your dry stream. :)

Was it a fancy mailbox? Maybe it's a nationwide caper to decorate a new mansion on the cheap.

They're from Design Toscano. We get a catalog from time to time (don't know why, we've never bought anything from them). They have lots of garden statuary-type things.

I personally like the pygmies:

I'd love to have a tribe of them lurking in the trees.

This looks like the watchers at Cirith Ungol.

I've already threatened 'em that I'm gonna be a bit artsy with garden art.

Just like Legolas got to Gimli and got him all artsy!

I didn't stay long enough...

No, you didn't! Are you going to be able to make the RockyMountMoot next summer? I was mentioning it to SirKit the other day, and said something like, "Since you weren't going to go..", and he said "Who said I wasn't going?" So, we'll have to figure out who, if anyone, is going. When was it supposed to be, anyway?

I'm not sure where we left things with RockyMoot.

The timing is a bit tricksey. Might be even moreso dependin' on what happens jobwise.

Now that's just creepy! Looks like the turkey vultures that were on top of a neighbor's house a few weeks ago.

Man, am I sold on these Neovita orthopedic things. My feet feel great!

I had to wear a 'corrective' orthopedic walking around for 15 mins, gradually building up the time I can tolerate it. Then I wear a 'retainer' orthopedic for the rest of the day. The retainer feels great. I can sit here awhile at the computer, get back up and just walk like a normal person. It used to be excrutiating to get up after sitting.

I'm hopeful that I can get back to being a lot more active than I've felt like being lately. I'd like to start daily walks, but it's just been too painful, and felt like I was doing more damage.
