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!

Have you got a bird bath yet? Here is a link to my latest bird bath First Nature Bird Bath

I'm going to try to put it close to a window so I can watch the birds splash around.

Ignore it and hope it goes away, is my advice. Reality is too dangerous.

Good morning. ~sip~

Becky had her 2nd grade award ceremony this morning. I'm so proud!

I had Aly with me, so when Becky came across the stage to accept her awards, Alyson yells "Woo! That's muh Becca!" and clapped madly.

hehehehe....for all they fight, it's nice to see ~the love~ once in a while. ;-)

Hi everyone! I've been busy busy busy. Over the course of the last couple of months I've been recruited for a new job--and it's a nice step up for me. But you aren't going to believe where we're (wife and I) are moving in a couple of weeks...

Las Vegas

No kidding.

Hi Scott! Nice to see you again. So you weren't really ignoring us?

Las Vegas, huh? Well, the moving fits a theme - seems like half the Hole is moving, will move, or moved recently.

I've got one like this:

I put the basin on the ground. Still trying to decide how I'm going to put the stand up. I'm thinking about putting them in a pot and planting stuff around it.

I had to lay low around...well, everywhere...given all the gadflys in my former place of business. So I mostly lurked when online. Yes, my house is total chaos (trying to sell, pack, move and start a new job next month). With dogs...which makes everything of that sort MUCH harder!

I'm moving Saturday, but I only have one small apartment's worth of stuff, no pets, I don't have to worry about selling a house... it's probably the easiest move I'll ever make.

Check out my message to Ruthy...and you'll see what I've been up to...quite a lot really.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes, but it's my 50th this year so I'm trying to ignore it as much as I can (it won't ignore me, however).

I've been layin' low lurking due to the sensitivities of my now former work. And I'm makin' a BIG move...as you'll see on the thread. So life is chaotically busy right now!

and planting stuff around it.

That would look nice, and you'd always have the plants watered by the birds splashing around!!

I'm counting CO to IA as the move, with the little PA stopover as a fluke. I don't think it counts as a move if all I'm hauling is some clothes and a computer.

Now, the PA to IA part will be the fun bit...

Heh, heh, mines gonna be a 1200 mile road trip with crazy dogs! Over Memorial Day. We're going to take it easy though (have to wait for our stuff to arrive via the movers anyway), not drive too far any single day and stop and smell the roses along the way. I have my brother in law and his wife taking the short drive from Arizona to meet us in Vegas and help us move in...so that'll be lots of extra hands and some fun too. We're really looking forward to the big change.

That sounds like fun! A big change can be fun, or horrible, depending on your attitude, sounds like you'll have a great time.

I'm loading a trailer Saturday, driving 800 miles to Iowa, unloading my stuff, and then driving back to Pittsburgh for the rest of the summer. Hafta recruit some friends today to help with the loading on this end. My folks are coming out to help me but they requested that I get brute strength assistance.

Wow, your move is even bigger than mine. We leave for LV on May 26. I guess we're goin' for the heat and you for the cool!

Makes sense but I have a hard time counting that part is the main move... I am just getting extra furniture and boxes and not YOU.
