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, glad you survived further progress on moving, the computers are an important part!
Moving's hard, wish we were around to help. Good luck with the rest today.
To: HairOfTheDog; RMDupree
Thanks... we still have a lot ahead of us. I can't believe how much time we've spent on packing, and it seems like we still have a lot to do...
Last night was pretty miserable, as the air conditioning wasn't working in thenewplace, and the temp inside wouldn't go below 84°F. Rose finally called maintenance or someone to fix it, and they did at about 5:30 am. (No air conditioning with the temp over 80°F is considered an emergency, honestly.) So, I'm letting her sleep in a bit... we'll probably get back to theoldplace at about noon.
We'll see what four hours gets done on it; if that leaves it pretty much done, then we'll bring the truck to thenewplace and begin unloading (it took me 4 hours to load it, unloading should go quicker.) If we're not close enough to being done, then we'll keep going another four hours, and leave the truck until tomorrow (we have it until 2:00 pm tomorrow). May have to miss some work, but we have to get it done by tomorrow.

Good Morning Bear and Miss Rose-so far so good and on line to boot. There's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Good Morning All; Sip, Back from the dogpark "Happy Tails Park". Just one fella there with his Golden, Gypsygirl says "hmm, hunky doggy". Dogcatcher aka ACO drove by and stopped to check for city tags on our dogs. He told us that after the dedication, they checked for tags and only half of the 30 or so dogs there had city tags and most of those didn't have their rabies tags either. The dogs weren't allowed in till their rectified the situation. After a month or so the ACOs plan issue citations for not having tags on the dogs, now it's a warning. We'll see how it all shakes out. Gypsygirl has a lifetime city tag and current vacination tag, so she's legal. She sure likes her frisbee.

Well hon, hold on to the knowledge that in 48 hours you'll be officially done moving. :-)

Okay....my driver finished fifth.

Sounds like a reasonable finish, points and money.

To: osagebowman
Hurray!
No bunny holes in the bunny fence!
To: Overtaxed
Yessss. Good fences make for a better garden. Lotsa birdes around today, no bunnies so far that we've seen. Looks like a bit of hidegoseek with the sun today.
