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! |

Sweet Homer! He's trying to comfort you - and trying to look sad because
you're sad, so he knows there must be some good reason . . .
WHAT a good boy! (you see, now there's one you saved!)

He's a wonderful dog. Big ol' couch potato one moment, fierce defender of sticks in another.

Yaw... Hesagoodboy :~)
My honey just got home and he brought me some cheery mums :~)
Also took this pic a bit ago.
Pippin isn't allowed to snuggle with Cartman any more since he got growed up. Pippin decided that was oogie, and Cartman grumbles at him more than snuggles with him. But Tweek still can :~D

Evening OT - quite a traveling day, glad you made it there even if it was sans suitcase.
RE: deers in the backyard : align sights, squeeze the trigger, reload, repeat as necessary.
We got a notice hand delivered yesterday that there would be an inordinate amount of traffic around the old homestead this week. Seems our neighborhood has the right feel for a new movie. (I wonder if setting on the front porch swing, wearing my cut off bib overhalls is what did it).
Anyway, it's supposed to be a G-rated movie, (guess that's why I wasn't asked to be an extra). It's set up mostly at the vet's office down the street.
The movie's name is "More Than Puppy Love 2", a sequel to "More Than Puppy Love" which came out in 2000. Kinda of exciting, they'll be working 5 pm to 5 am for 3 nights.

Aw, man. I don't know what to say...I knew it could come to this, but...she seemed so happy and comfortable besides being so thin.
I imagine that wouldn't have continued long, and it's a blessed thing that she was able to go quietly before she was in a lot of pain. I can't imagine her doing well over any kind of long convalescence.
But...it just burns me up that someone would do such a thing to such a gentle little girl...she was so trusting and friendly. Why why why? It's not fair.
You were a good friend to her...the best you could be. She was fortunate to have made it to you.
My turn to cry.
To: HairOfTheDog
Aw What a face!
I'm so sorry about the kitty, but she did have a glorious last few hours! At least a lot better than she'd had for several hundred before that!

Oh, no, wouldn't want some producer seeing her beautiful face and stealing her away. LSA
To: osagebowman; SuziQ
And when the announcer said "And the Oscar goes to GypsyGirl" you know that Nicole Kidman and Rene Zellweger wouldn't take that very well...

I know. It's a heartbreak.
To: Corin Stormhands
Well, she would be the prettiest of the three...
To: osagebowman
And she did it all without plastic surgery or botox...

Whee! I love the teepee.
Naybor lady said over the fence, "So how much *more* do you have growing this year than last year?" Apparantly she doesn't like the garden. Poo.

Putty-Tats! Y'all take the best cat pictures. Mine are never cute for the camera. They just give me death glares until I put the camera away.

Halvah is afraid of the flash...if she sees a camera, she shuts her eyes tight and usually scrunches down, too.
Sad...'cause she really is a pretty girl. Prettier 'n Tam...but don't tell him I said so.

Thanks for the spoiler....;-)
