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...it was later than I thought it would be, but he did OK, except for piddling with excitement when I walked in. *sigh* I wonder if he'll ever grow out of that...maybe not.

This just got posted on Craigslist...wonder if they'd work for raised beds?

We're heading out early in the AM for Paul's graduation. He's booked us into a B&B for the weekend. Clare and Joseph are staying home, and already have made plans for the weekend! Clare's going to a birthday party tomorrow afternoon, and in the evening they're going bowling with some homeschool friends.

We'll call them on Sunday morning to make sure they get to Mass on time, and on Monday morning to get Joseph to school.

I'll see y'all sometime Monday, unless I get the chance to Freep a bit at Paul's place.

We gots a new dog play area in a park near here too. We haven't been there. But I'd like to take Sam and check it out.

Suzi: B&B? Just don't get distracted with backgammon or sheetrock or anything and miss the graduation. ;-)

No bunnies.

I need to give ya "cause"?

Hon, you're welcome anytime for any reason!

Be forewarned...Cuban coffee is addictive. And you'll feel ~slightly~ wired the first time you drink some.

Have you had it before?

I'm thinkin' ~maybe~ I did when I was in Tampa, but I can't recall, so I prolly didn't.

I do miss muh travellin' days. I was thinkin' the other day, I haven't flown anywhere or been west of ~Kentucky~ since 1996.

Considerin' in my job in DC I used to travel once or twice a month, that's just sad.

Well, we're back. The dogpark is 5 minutes away and gypsygirl had a wonderful time. She wasn't sure at first, this off leash was 'new'. :-) Then it clicked, 'I can run around here'. She circled back a few times, trying to herd us along. 'Let's go see this'. There was a frisbee out there so I threw it to see what she'd do. Well, it appears we have a frisbee dog, she loved it; she chased it and brought it back, numerous times. btw, we were the only ones there. A truly sucessful adventure. Now for another cuppa coffee.

Hmm... well, the price is right... being 1x6, they aren't as sturdy as 2x... You'd probably want to put a post halfway at 3 feet just so it doesn't bow out... and build it two boards high, 6 wouldn't be enough (they're probably actually 5.5), but twelve would.

We could make them work..... Was wondering if you wanted to haul gravel and dirty today - if you get those, you're gonna need more dirt :~D

Cool! Is she actually fast enough to go catch the frisbee?

Ruthy's coffee is good stuff... If you've gone into cardiac arrest, it's just the thing :~D

Heh, she would usually get it before it stopped rolling, but no mid air leaping catches. (actually don't want her to do that, she does have a bit of a catch in her get along) but she runs with a very nice line and big ol grin.

I wonder how many I should tell 'em I want if I write and ask if they're still there...16, maybe? Two high and enough to either do two beds or put 'em two deep.

Mornin'. Need something to sip here...must remedy.
