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!

Heh...

We went out to the garden to look at the tomatoes and herbs my sister planted. Mr. DarcyCat and Miss Emily came out of hiding to join us. Apparently, The Kitties like humans in the garden. Miss Emily, for some reason, likes rolling in the thyme as well as the catnip.

I think something is about to happen.

I walked out on the deck with my coffee, standing there admiring the morning. There was maybe a dozen seagulls standing on the handrails leading to the dock. Then I looked down the way, and there's maybe twice as many seagulls on my neighbor's dock. And more on a float for another neighbor. They're not making any noise, just standing there like they're waiting for something.

They're all facing the same direction. East.

I know they'll tend to face into the wind, but there's no wind. It's like they're watching the sun come up, but most of them are in the shade.

They're waiting for something. Something coming from the east.

It's creeping me out. [sip]

I'm not sayin' there's a connection, but Nana had a bird decorate her crossword puzzle book whilst she was sittin' out on the deck yesterday...

No worries, hon.

If they start to attack, just throw a handful of Alka Seltzers in the air and run like hell. ;-)

They do that on purpose. They know exactly what they're doing.

But... I suppose if we could do it, we would too. :-)

Well, now they're gone. No earthquakes or volcanoes so far.
