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!

Thanks, chica.

I'm going completely insane here this morning.

Got two more boxes packed, but they won't fit in my car.

And I have laundry up the kazoo today!

Hehehe...

What's worse is that I absolutely detest sorting the laundry. Not because of the actual chore of doing it - but more because of my fear that some six-legged creature is lurking there.

I offered Becky a couple of bucks to sort it for me and even she said "No way! What if a cockroach is hiding there?"

*shakes head*

Once I've moved, I'll be so happy to never have to worry about seeing one of those critters ever again!

It was nice while it lasted.

I want to at least try to mow today if it doesn't rain any more.

I have a male cousin on my Daddy's side named Shirley; he's called Bubba for the obvious reason. ;o)

Hope my stuff isn't dead when I get back. The neighbor lady might have watered my okra and squash planting.

Hehehe...wearing my diversity shirt today.

Is there any quote that you don't have an appropriate kitten photo for? Does Pippin mind being laughed at?

Beau. His name should be Beauregard Ezekiel François Thibideaux.

Heh, this year should be interestingly tricky for me! I've got to come up with a fairly detailed plot by September or I won't have a chance.

heh - it is a hoot watching the dogs realize 'hey, I don't have a leash on and I can run and stuff, way cool'. One dog crawled through the corrogated plastic pipe in the training area, the rest seemed to say 'whatever floats yer boat'. Gypsygirl was among those who watched and wondered 'why doesn't the dog just walk around it, that's what I do..'

Well, weatherguy says 60% chance of rain today. Did my part, washed the car and watered the garden. Here's hoping it works.

Celebrating that ~ type ~ of diversity is a good thing.
