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!

Woohoo!

Now you just need several box fans and some open windows so you don't have to run the AC much now that it is getting warmer :-D

It was in the 90s a couple of times here...vey hot. But I ran the attic fan...the "whole house" fan as it's called in Lowes. Turned the house into a wind tunnel for very little electricity. Only problem is it brings allergens in the house and we all sneeze. LOL!

I wish I could use it at night...I love the feel of an attic fan at night. But you have to leave the windows open and I don't have them rigged to do so safely yet. May get Steve to work on that, now he's home more often.

There's a big police standoff situation a couple miles from here. Man takes boy hostage; woman shot, girl rescued

They just announced on the TV that the baby has now been released, so at this point, the guy is in there alone. Boy held hostage in Tumwater has been released

The house appears to be right by Kiperts Corner Feed, the 'other' feed store.

Have you heard from Dad and Dona? I haven't heard a peep out of 'em. I think they're starting the trip home today.

Planning to get together Friday night!

You know.. the cemetery cleanup day is Saturday morning. Are we going to go to that? Expose Ruthy to the local culture? Or skip out this year? Will dad be back by then?

Yeah, the cleanup is Saturday. I'm not thinking of taking Rutheee to it. :-)

Linda emailed me... she may be coming down for it.

I guess we'll miss it. Hate to do that, but it just doesn't fit.

What is the plan for Saturday then? Hang out, or is there a goal? When's dad getting back?

I don't know about Saturday yet. I suppose we'll just be here at the beach, though I guess we'll be starting out down there in the morning?

I'm not sure when D&D are coming back. Might be tomorrow or Friday or Saturday, depending on how quick they're moving. I'm guessing Friday.

I'm thinking you should take her.

If'n it were me, I'd wanna do it.

It's a big deal around here too...everyone flocks to the cemetery on Memorial Day...my cousin calls it Decoration Day. Nobody actually cleans up, we have picnics and meet up with each other and visit. Everyone puts out silk flower memorials. They sell 'em everywhere here...scads of them...even from stands along the side of the road.

Should probably move the rollaway beds back pretty soon, huh?

Maybe this evening...after I mow the back?
