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!

The first year our kids homeschooled, they watched a lot of TV. You should have heard the conversations around the dinner table in the evenings. I didn't understand half of what was being discussed about black holes, quarks, all other kinds of science stuff. There is SO much out there on video, or DVD or online, you'd have to work hard NOT to get an education!

When our kids sit down to watch TV, the first channel they turn to is Discovery. They absolutely LOVE "Mythbusters"! It is a fun show, and Clare has the DVR set up to catch every episode, then they'll just spin up the DVR to see which epidode they got! We also like the Science channel for their space and geology shows.

Took the kittens out to the barn for an adventure today, so they could goof off while I tidied...

Looking in places mouses hide :~D

Pippin says "Hi! I'm ~covered~ in cobwebs and I don't care!"

Tweek says "Ack! me too!" (she's trying figure out where the invisible cobwebs are coming from, she can feel them on her face)

Got the barn all tidy! Kittens are 'xhausted. Good day :~D

Aptly named, huh?

Heh...that's about how Halvah acts if she ever gets something sticky on her...even a miniscule piece of tape. She totally freaks.

Sounds like a fun outing. ;-)

Looks like Tweek and Pippin have found a cool place to play. Will it be a daily recess?

I might take them out there sortof frequently while I clean stalls... it'd be good for 'em. I want them to happen on a mouse so they learn to look for 'em. :~D
