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! |

Man...if it wasn't for his hair, he'd look like an entirely different person.
To: HairOfTheDog
Heh...yeah, I don't think my cats would hesitate to swat a dog that tried anything.
I suppose just doing gentle, supervised introductions and being around while they got to know one another would probably be enough, huh?
To: HairOfTheDog; SuziQ; JenB
Phone interview done. I *think* it went OK, but it's always hard to tell.
In any case, apparently he's going to make a decision based on these interviews - no face to face. A little weird, but it makes life easier. So there's that.
Should hear back by early next week.

Please, tell her we're thinking of her ...
To: Lil'freeper

Trying to figger out what's a good movie night for my sister and I. We finished The Movies last night.
She says they're too gory and emotional.

Thanks.... will do.
She was very connected to that dog. She complained about him, but she also catered to him absolutely ;~D
