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!

Pretty snow pictures, Corin. How much did Richmond get? Have you heard how much the PRC got? Or Mathews County?

Down in the 30's tonight in Miami.

Morning everyone.

Hi Sam!

It has been chilly the last couple of days. My mom has the heater on full-blast and it's given Alyson a bit of a cough.

I'm hoping the fresh air she's taking in at school will ease it a bit, even if the air is a bit cooler than normal. :-D

Sure you're going to be ok moving to Washington?

Oh I have no doubt the first few winters I will definitely freeze my butt off. :-)

But I'll get used to it eventually. I was born in Chicago after all! Walked thru snow to get to school even. ;-)

Certain compensations are available which can mitigate low nightly temperatures...

I ran the heat for a few minutes this morning, until my metabolism got going! Heat does dry the air out, hopefully Alyson will feel better. My nose always bleeds from the heat when I'm up north in winter, but I believe that happens even to those who are there full time.

I'll get a humidifier for the girls' room when I get up there, just to ease them into the change of climate.

I may even have to sit next to the thing for a while on some days!

Good, cuz if I'm moving to Iowa there'd better be compensations for temperature...

"the trainer tried to kill me this morning..."

That remark sounds like it came straight out of Calvin and Hobbes! Are you sure you're not Calvin, now grown up?
