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!

Well, make a chance!

That was some succesful shopping. Turns out the department stores were all having sales and I had a $10 Pennys coupon so I bought myself a new purse and some assorted goodies.

I've been cleaning the paddock and dumping horse poop in your yard all afternoon... three barrows full so far!

Ordinarily, that wouldn't be a very nice thing to do, but I do have a plan... I'm using it as fill dirt in those big holes in the back. It might be a little rich by itself to plant grass in, but this way, you'll just need to buy an inch or two's worth of topsoil to level it, together with that poo underneath, and I think you'd have a dang good foundation for a lawn back there.

Unfortunately we don't have a domain structure here, so I can't just disable his account or something... ;-) And his PC is brand spankin' new.

I'm so evil...

I've heard Pennys is having some good sales. Glad you found something nice for your birthday! Heh...last thing I got there was my set of diseased pajamas.

Sneaking into my yard while I'm gone to dump horse poo? ;-)

Does sound like that could work nicely, though! Provided Cisco doesn't eat it...ungh.

Heh...speaking of Cisco, did you see all the dirt he dumped back there? An entire bag of potting soil Oops. At least it was mostly in a spot that needed fill dirt, so it isn't a total and utter waste.

Yeah, if you need anything you should check it out, there were some really good deal. And I hit Foley's too... their clothing is awful but their other stuff was pretty good and they had some closeouts I took advantage of.

~sigh~

I am not going to make it thru the Republican primary season without 1) a stroke or 2) needing help moving and burying a body or two.

I'm just sayin'...

If you get arrested I'll hold a garage sale to raise bail money for you... or maybe a bake sale... anyway it shouldn't take more than a few years to raise the cash.

Fortunately our current Governor is ~personally opposed~ to the death penalty...

So just say in the state and don't kill anyone who would be a Federal offense.

It's still wrong... you gotta move to Texas if you want "He needed killin'" to work.

I'll bet he doesn't mind IMPOSING his morality on the State on THAT issue, huh?

Actually he did let somebody fry the other night. It was his first ~unbroken~ campaign promise.
