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!

There's no reasonin' with hurricane season...

It's late summer/early fall in the southern hemisphere. Same as hurricane prime time here in September. And hurricanes and water drains spiral in the opposite direction down under because of the Coriolas effect.

I saw the alert earlier, but hadn't seen the graphics.

*shudder* is right.

Okay. Then I'll just save my money and be a cheapskate. :)

I'm watching ROTK. Now ever time someone says "Pippin", I think of a black and white furry little monster.

We're watching the King Kong extra features. PJ puts on a good show. Though, I must say, the appearance of some people is not improved by weight loss. PJ looks sickly! Big'ol thinks a haircut would do him good.

"cheapskate?1?" we prefer the term 'frugal', but in this instance, dumping the water will irrigate your plants or flowers etc. thus a double savings. :-)

Well the borage is up and the mixed greens I planted last week. Got varmints running roughshod over muh property.

Every little bit counts. Even if it's a box a day. :-)

I'm still a bit choked up. We just finished watching Phantom.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty bad too. But it didn't make me cry.

Hmmm... can't say that was the emotion primarily inspired in me by that show. The music was nice, though.

Lots a stuff in bloom, the columbines are great this year. We planted up most of the new stuff and moved some more. The bushy tailed varmints are digging in the mulch, for the time being. :-)

I hadn't seen it before, although I pretty much knew the story.

Now, I'd ~love~ to see it on stage.

Well, like I said, I liked some of the music a lot. I sort of snickered my way through most of the rest of it.

I'd never seen it before either but I've seen/read three or four parodies so there weren't any surprises... what a weird culture we have where you can learn a story by other stories making fun of it. It's sort of like thinking "Romeo and Juliet" is derivative of "West Side Story". Which, appropo of nothing, made me giggle rather than cry, also.
