The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

No worries. I'm sure Haldir isn't offended. ;-)

Well, we made some more progress today on fence, but didn't really photograph that :~\

But we did bring Cisco over to introduce him to our dogs, horses, and electric fences, all at once :~D

I think he and Homer will play real well when given the chance. Gidget doesn't really play well with anybody...

You girls are kicking butt on that fence. Wish I was there to help. :-/

Cisco is so sweet with that submissive posture and friendly face. Even Gidget will come around eventually.

Well, maybe. :-)

Mmmmm, mental illness!

Welcome home Lil. All my running around is done for the week too...no more activities to attend. Tomorrow will be a quiet day, I hope.

Good evening!

Jedis are playing on the Xbox, Steve went to bed in case he has to get up in the night to draw samples. I just set a bunch of yogurt up to culture with some of all this milk! LOL!

But, how does she do with scissors?

Well, the front is through heading to Sedalia, did you get any hail over there? LSA called me to the back yard earlier (while the computer was off) the trailing edge was passing overhead, the dark blue sky was visible behind the black scudding clouds complete with stars.

It's good to still get to be here in the evening now and then...

:-)

So far the storms have gone north and south of the Tulsa area...a dry line might fire up another round of storms later this evening and that is what Steve is resting up for.
