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! |

I think the moving will go ok, but the packing may kill me... That's purty much how I felt about thegarage today. Good thing we didn't try to do the yard sale. I worked from 10-7 with a short break for lunch.
I did get one load to the dump and have another partial load for Goodwill.
But it was like rearranging the frap chairs on the Titanic.
I didn't mow, but now I can get to the mower (couldn't before). And I piled the rest of the questionable stuff in the middle and have alerted the family that "anything that has not found its proper place by Memorial Day weekend is going to the dump. No questions asked."

"cutting edge of obsolence" sniff, that's just beautiful, man.
It's interesting note that gypsygirl doesn't mind walking in the rain at all, so long as there isn't excessive thunder and we're on the end of the leash.

Are you playing with that ever-so-happy reasonable gal again?
To: RosieCotton
Missed an "and" in there. Oops.
To: osagebowman
Hehehe...
In other words, I'm too cheap to throw away stuff that still works.
Wierdness continues, though. The act of plugging or unplugging into or out of that ethernet card turns on the computer.

Just got a call from Tiff and Danny at the ~Weekend to Remember~... She was calling to see how the animals are.
She said they went to the first session on Friday evening... took a break midway through, and NEVER WENT BACK
LOL... She said she and Danny have been having a wonderful time driving along the Oregon Coast.
To: HairOfTheDog
Ha!
*Now* what'll you tell ecurbh's parents?
I'm sure they're having a "weekend to remember", though, in any case...
To: HairOfTheDog
Ya know...it would have been really funny if you'd run that story by my Dad while he was here. I can predict how he'd react. It'd be...humorous, if explosive.
To: RosieCotton
I don't think we'll say anything to ecurbh's parents ;~D
But I did tell her I felt I had to tattle on her to ~someone~ for skipping out :~D

To: HairOfTheDog

Well...
.That sort of weekend would be just soooooooo not his thing, and he would have been outraged at the idea of it being foisted upon folks without any consultation.
To: HairOfTheDog
...Durnit...didn't make the hidden font very obvious in that last. And I guess it's not really worthy of hidden anyhoo.
To: RosieCotton
...I got it ;~D
To: RosieCotton
Not me.
But don't ask me about any other threads...

heh-heh, know what you mean; I've two radios on the work bench, one only gets FM, the other only gets AM, each works very well on its band. Sooo, why get an AM/FM radio when I have one of each. :-)
