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!

Well..... good morning, thread!

Checking in before I head out to work. Work has been a little, um, crazy* so I don't get a chance to post very often anymore.

* Various shades of unpleasant, actually. From mild annoyance to vey extremely bad. I'm on the verge of pulling a Corin and start investigating options.

mornin'

fergot to tell this story last night...

Luke walked in with us last night. My cousin's (actually cousin's ex-wife's) son (from her second marriage) said, "Look Mom, it's the kid from Stuart Little! Can we get his autograph?"

I'll post pictures when I get home. The resemblence is a bit remarkable.

See y'all later

Yep. From Watership Down.

He's so tiny that I can't imagine how he got away from his mom already!

He just sits with us and scampers around playing while we're out in the garden...he's already gotten so used to us that we can talk and move around normally and he doesn't mind a bit.

Oh my...

Well, you have a stunning garden, sis! Looks beautiful this morning!

Do you have a bench out there by it? Steve and I always make sure we have plenty of nice places to sit...currently lawn chairs and the picnic table and even the old pear tree that fell down...we made little stools out of the trunk.

When we lived in Austin, Steve would make elaborate benches out of sticks and branches we'd pick up. Our landlord had given us permission to use the vacant lot behind our house to plant this gigantic garden and it was just gorgeous...had winding pathways through it. We'd put the benches out there and our Wiccan neighbors would be out there in the evenings...just hanging out.

Grrrrr.....I looked out of thesunroom this morning to see "Fiver" munching my marigolds.

I went outside and sprayed everything down with putrid egg solids.

You can out-run hurricanes. You can't out-run tornadoes.

Just my happy little thought for the day. ;o)

Heh heh!! That'd stop *me* from munching on your marigolds! It almost stopped me from sipping on my coffee!
