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!

In other Stormhands kin news ...

Corin, was that your cousin on the CBS Morning News article about artificial limbs? He has a large sun tattoo on his shoulder, right?

West Coasters, can one of y'all record this morning's CBS Morning News?

Good Morning, it's a beautiful morning here, just back from Happytails. Getting better throwing the frisbee, gypsygirl was able to snag a couple in the air. It floated down over her shoulder and she got before it hit the ground. She had a quite a good time, heh, so did we. Good long cool down walk. Now for some more coffee and a bit of the paper (check ammo sales).

Seriously? I've set the DVR to record... I can convert that to tape if you want it.

Morning!

Just finished coffee and Miss Cat has had second breakfast.

Got several things I could do today but I don't really feel like doing them. Guess I should go out and see how the hibiscus are doing. :)

Sorry I missed saying goodbye to ya, by the way! Came back over here to do some puttering around the garden for a bit, and then saw DaJeep heading out.

You'll be back soon. ;-)

I admit, when they said I had to come over and see something Cisco had dragged out from under the house, I was a little nervous...though they seemed too amused for it to be anything toooo scary...

heh, same here, been working in the upstairs bathroom, got the old masonite panel and plaster down, cleaned it up, and will now look through my hoard of miscellaneous construction and/or deconstruction debitage for suitable replacement parts.

Yeah, I'm sory I left without saying a formal goodbye.

I'll be back in a few weeks and we'll do Trospers again. :-)

Mornin' folks.

Yup. My flight leaves at around 10pm tonight and I'll get into Miami at about 7 tomorrow morning.

We'll all be flying back on the 29th of June.

Not too much of a wait!

Pole beans planted...though they'll be fence beans rather than pole beans. Still have a ton of beans left...I almost wish the seed packets didn't always hold do much. Cheap as they are, I still feel like I'm wasting seeds.

I've got a thonking headache, though, for some reason. It's overcast out, but still...the white face burns our eyes, precious. It scorches...

Guess I can clean indoors...though that isn't nearly as much fun. Least I have hamburger for grilling later...so there's that.

Yep! That's him! I had no idea he'd be on. But thanks for the head's up.

The video is still available on the CBS website. Is there a way I can save it from there?

*Sigh*

You can't sneak grilled hamburger past Miss Cat.

I did laundry already...might mow the lawn after the game...or not. I'm not feeling very motivated today even though 2 more garlic plants have broken through.

Should be the CBS video there on the right side. Picture I've got shows a Marine with a prosthetic hand. That's the story. Cousin is the next guy featured after that guy.

I can't figure out how to save it... some are easy, but they've gone to some trouble to make this one a streaming link. Hopefully others will know how.

Thanks. Hopefully his parents/sisters had a heads up and got it taped.

Hmmm. grilled hamburger...

Debitage proved its worth again. Had a piece of plywood and a piece of sheetrock that worked. yess. cut and cut out to fit, exactly right the third time. Will need to seal the sheet rock and before we reinstall the tile. Thinking the retiling will be an ~ interesting ~ effort. LSA finished the second coat of paint in the downstairs bathroom. Looking very sharp, she's a pro painter.
