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!

You know, I have no idea. At the time our youth group (Asbury) was in Mexico for a missions trip and I was only about 13 years old. My guess is that is was carton because there were so many of us to feed.

I still remember the breakfasts. Scrambled eggs and beef with goats milk and tortillas. I think it was memorable to me because whenver my family has had steak and eggs for breakfast, it was a steak and scrambled eggs - not eggs scrambled with steak chunks (kinda like fajita meat?). I don't know, maybe it was just the milk that made it memorable.

We're back from feeding Tiff's horses and having some breakfast at the Farm Boy. :~D

Overheard by an old farmer that probably drives a one ton truck... "Hell, these city people pay three dollars for a cup of coffee, why can't they pay three dollars for a gallon of gas?" He has a point :~D

True. However, most days I don't drink 20 cups of coffee in one sittin'...

I don't care for carton goat milk, but fresh is delicious!

Well, I recommend putting it in ~something~ between the goat and the breakfast. ;~D

Yeah, but if they raise the price of coffee too high, you can stop drinking it. I can't do that much about my gas consumption, really.

Now that's just crazy talk.

I don't think anyone is a big fan of high gas prices.. And I didn't hear where that fit into the guy's point, I just thought it was an interesting comparison. :~D

I had to drink goat milk as a kid... for awhile... they were wondering if I was allergic to dairy. Goat milk, goat cheese... no cow milk products... but as it turns out, dairy wasn't the issue. I don't even really remember what symptom I had for why they ran the test.

Heh...I had a couple of panic moments when I was doin' 'em at the store - kept forgetting the second smaller connector on the larger motherboards.

Back from my travels. Went to two garage sales and panned a third...looked like absolutely nothing but baby stuff and it wasn't easy to park near.

The lawn mowers were both just the push type...for as much land as I've got, I wasn't sure that'd cut it. Maybe I need more edummication on mowers before I spend anything, even at a garage sale.

Did get a ton of flower pots for fifty cents, though. And some clothes from Value Village.

You mean the old time non-powered type?

If you find a lawnmower at a garage sale for a good price ($50-$100) ask them to start it... if it runs, it's a good deal. Self propelled would be nice, but not really ~necessary~ for a gal in good health with a flat piece of ground :~D I'd expect larger powered self propelled ones in the $100 range, older or un-propelled ones in the $50 range.

Maybe I should go back for it, then. He said his neighbor repaired lawn mowers, and he'd just done a full tune-up on it.

It was under fifty bucks.
