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!

Evening G'nad, Mrsnad, thegirl, theboy and thenewboy. That is a fine addition to the homestead, well laid out and the construction quality is evident throughout. Congrats.

That is a super picture of Mrsnad and thenewboy. Notice thenewboy is keeping one hand on the johndeere and an eye on keys. (it calls to him, it does)

Hmmm, tool benches.

A breaker of hearts, huh? tsk :~D

Well, we're gonna go out for some burgers and pints or something... we got wore out on Rosie's yard today and don't feel like cookin :~D

She didn't have time to post before leaving for her concert, but in addition to spreading all the gravel, we did make a redneck raised garden of sorts out of all her tires and filled it with a truckload of dirt. So - two truck trips for gravel, one for dirt... and a lot of progress can be made in a day :~D

Sorry if I missed pinging anyone...

Well, Step 2 completed successfully... got all of the boxes onto the truck, and by my scheduled stop time of 8:00 pm. We still have a lot of stuff to "move", though... the truck is still at theoldplace. We'll finish filling it tomorrow, then bring it here and unload it.

Oh, yeah... before we left the house, we took down our computers and computer desks, loaded them into the car, and brought them to thenewplace. We're set up and online, and I'm ready for bed...
