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! |

I'm so sorry your kitten didn't make it. It was such a kindness for you to take her in and feed her and love her for even a few days. Have no doubts or regrets, you did what needed to be done, even though the results weren't what we wished.
To: HairOfTheDog
It's tragic is what it is.
I wonder what happened to her though. It seems that in her frail state, a car would have killed her on the spot.
Prolly better that it remain a mystery.

Yeah - I don't want to imagine. Maybe it was nothing sinister at all, it just happened.
I'm just screaming to call back and change my mind, though I'm sure it's too late. I didn't think she'd die when I left her.
To: HairOfTheDog
How can I help you to say goodbye?
It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry.
Come let me hold you, and I will try.
How can I help you to say goodbye?Had this song going through my mind a lot when the girls were killed. I don't talk to too many people about how bad it made me feel, 'cause most people probably think "Sheesh, they were just chickens!"

They were your chickens, and they contained all the love you put in them.
We expect them to die, like we all die. And we feel sad when they die of old age, but we can be ready for that. But they break our hearts when bad things happen to them. She was just a baby. :~(
To: HairOfTheDog
...I didn't think she'd die when I left her. Don't feel guilty about that for one minute. She never had a chance from the minute you got her. There was nothing you could have done differently that would have made any difference in the outcome. You did a whole lot more for her than most people would have done and you can be proud of that fact.

Y'all are just swell people, both here, and in FRMail. I hope I remembered everyone.
She had a sweet, trusting heart. Maybe she wasn't betrayed, maybe it just happened, but dangit, someone should have protected her before I did. It makes me mad. I'm a sobbin' mess, but I do feel good that she had some peace and didn't die as horrible and sick as she would have on her own.
Thank you all, she was deserving of your compassion. :~D
I'm gonna go cuddle with all muhotherpets.

'Maters. These are the red net-covered patio 'maters.
Top view
Side view.
The yellow ones have blossoms and a couple of little tomatoes, but nothing worth mentioning yet.

Without you, I shudder to think of what she would have faced, all alone.
You were her Guardian Angel. Be proud of that.
