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!

Yeah...no Eatmoots this trip. :-(

But the country should be prettier, high desert or no!

Ungh...running late, but I should be OK so long as I get on the road within the next hour or so.

Well, time to pack up the computer and do the last of the packing. I'll check in tonight, by phone with Hair and (if there's a wireless signal from somewhere nearby) on-line if I can.

Keep praying for me!

Good Morning All:

Indeed, the board is set (except for the kitties and the instruments) the pieces are in motion (albeit slowly, needs coffee) and so begins the second part of Rosie's journey to mist shrouded mountains and the western sea..

Safe Journey, Rosie. OB & LSA

Click for Miami, Florida Forecast

It's a bit gray and blustery out there today. Winds are at 20mph or so says Wunderground. ;-)

Good morning... clear and cold here, which ordinarily wouldn't be so bad, but our furnace is out and we're waiting on the landlord to find the right part to fix it.

Guess I'm too late for the send-off...

just lock your doors, fasten your seatbelt, and look both ways before you cross the street.

Eh, we're managing... it get warm enough during the day that the house doesn't get *too* cold at night, even when the temp drops down to freezing.
