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!

THIS person better not call back and cancel! I don't think they will, though. Gonna see if I can get the bed disassembled this morning so we're not trying to do it while they're here to pick it up!

Just about to make some pumpkin bread. I've been trying to use up all the foods that Jen wouldn't necessarily use, and I figure pumpkin bread wouldn't be a bad thing to have along on the trip for snacks, too.

She feels great... she's very active and alert, causin' trouble with Pippin, but that lump is still very large. Just doesn't seem to bother her. We're about to do the wrap in a blanket thing for her antibiotic.

My wife made a remark the other day about the little dog sleeping on my chest...daughter, who is here at the moment, said not to worry about it, just think of the dog as a little heating pad, one that loves you. True enough!

It's true :~D My little dog was great for that... and the cats are too... they're a heating pad and a vibrating massager at the same time :~D

Glad she's not in any discomfort...except when you do the blanket thing, of course. ;-)

Mine just came RUNNING because I opened a can of pumpkin. Now...Tam had canned food for a few months when he was a baby, so I can kinda see him coming, but Halvah's never had it, and she STILL comes running.

I showed them a little of what it actually was, and Halvah stalked off in disgust. Tam gobbled it down. Forgot that he loves squash of any kind...the freak.

But the punkin bread is in the oven now! Smells nice already.

Went pretty good. She really hates it though. She spits out half of it, so we gave her twice as much ;~D

Yeah - it's not bubble gum this time... it's like Pina Colada or something. Smells like bananas and pineapple. Weird.

That ~is~ weird. Wonder why they changed it?

Not that it would make the administering of meds to a cat any easier. :-/

Last time it was Orange Sherbet... Maybe they're offering today's babies a wide variety of choices in flavored amoxicillan ;~D
