The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

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!

Isn't there a northern route up through Nebraska? It beats taking the mine.

Wyoming and Utah. Not the most northern route, so it's prolly OK.

So is this the first violin that Margaret has made that she's trying to sell?

Might she be interested in re-locating to the Great Northwest?

She's just trying out different sleeping options.

Cat sleeping options:

It's her second. She sold the first, is working on a third, and doing a lot of repair work as well, much of it out of the house. She's also helping Dad build one - he's really excited about maybe doing some little projects just for his own enjoyment especially after he retires in a few years.

She says he's a total perfectionist. ;-)

She's talked about potentially talking to other luthiers in time and learning a little from them as well, just to get a feel for different techniques and how different builders aim for different tone. Not sure how serious she is about that or who she has in mind, so we'll see.

Right now she just wants to see Jacinta (the new niece), and wouldn't mind taking the scenic route to get there...

*snicker*

Ya know, I doubt most of those were posed! They do some pretty crazy things...silly critters.

I think the kitty in the sandal is my favorite. ;-)

I defy anyone to show me how to pose a cat for those shots.

Mine do that all the time. Anything on the floor that can be curled up on is a bed even if it is really too small to be actually curled up on.

Ask Empress. I am sure there are pharmaceutical methods.

I'm still a bit perplexed by a cat sleeping in coat hangers.

I'm assuming these are fully-functional cats without any chemical enhancements.

They're unconscious cats - most of them. It's hard to tell the difference between "asleep" and "drugged", in a cat.
