The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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!

Shhh... don't tell but I don't drink that stuff. It's diet cola for me. And I like the outdoors.

I've had a couple (dozen) people lately tell me how I'm going to miss the mountains when I move to Iowa... I just point out that they haven't been outside in a year themselves so what do they care?

It will only get worse as you get older. I'm probably at 50-75 boxes, and I purge books every year.

Geez, you ain't kiddin'.

The worst is going to be The Great Toy Purge.

That's when my girls will insist that every single toy they own has some significant meaning in their lives and cannot EVER be donated or dumped.

*rolls eyes*

Yeah, and once Talon and I merge our collections it's going to get interesting. Someday when I am old I will have a house with a huge library, and by then I will have all the books for it.

Something right along those lines, I'm afraid.

I was only able to hold back a dozen or so books from this weekend's packing, and that's because they were literally falling apart.

Oh, 2J, I'm so sorry about the girls! They were such fun to watch in the pictures you'd post.

Yeah, I remember you saying that before. Unfortunately it's only good for the face... unless I compute naked and I sure as heck am not going to do that at work.

Oh geez 2J, just catchin' up and readin' the news about the birds. I'm really sorry.

Hugs to you and the jedis (and a nice dwarvely handshake to Steve).

Just because my car isn't plastered with WWJD doesn't mean I'm a heathen.

I don't put that stuff on my car 'cause I'm too afraid someone will cut me off in traffic and I'll flip 'em the one finger salute.

In Christian charity, of course.

Every dog, bird dog and mutt alike, that I've ever owned would kill a chicken if they had a chance to. It's a natural thing for them to want to do, unless they are specifically trained not to, and even that doesn't always work.

I have a friend who's dogs (3 of them...2 labs and a hound) hang out all day with their chickens. I wish I knew how that happened. All the dogs were at least two when they got the chikens. Mrsnad

Hugs to your whole family. It will be so nice ASG...little land, maybe another bird or two, maybe even a milk goat so you can have it fresh every morning. :-)
