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!

It's a possibility... but like you said, what else would they do with that lot?

I bet your place is a take it or leave it kind of thing to them... which is why it doesn't matter what it looks like inside. Nice easy income as long as it's rented, hopefully not too much trouble.

Regardless, we won't let you end up living in your van, down by the river :~)

Yeah...probably true, I'd hope. It can't be too highly taxed, and they get a steady income from it as long as I stick around. Maybe not a huge amount, but it's gotta more than pay for its upkeep, I'd guess.

Right now they're denying the sale to their own employees, and acting really strange about it. Richard won't even come in while Kat's working because they got in a big blowout and he doesn't want to answer her questions.

:~D I got quite an earful :~D

See, it's here where a naked redheaded man could come in handy.

He can distract the new owners ...

He can point out all your nifty improvements to the place ... not counting himself! After all, if Hair goes to ~town~ and tells about the naked man who fell out of the sky, your quiet little acreage could become a tourist trap. The store would do land office business!

He can help you move ...

And maybe he'll take you to Heaven* with him ...

* An L2 satellite, silly! What did YOU think Heaven was?

I guess really the absolute WORST case scenario is that they decide to do something different with the land in six months when my lease is up...but it's probably not likely.

Just hope it all comes out soon and is over with! Weird that they're being so secretive about it.

No, no, no ... Manny's not from (lower-case-h) heaven. He's from Heaven, the nickname for the Sun-Earth-Lagrangian Point satellite.

Heaven started out as a scientific observatory, but now it's home for several thousand men, women, and children.

I am developing a fondness for the guy ... the blonde he fell on treats him with such casual cruelty ...!

Seriously, Rosie, these new owners --- if they ARE new owners, and not just receivers --- can't do anything for six months, even if they wanted to put up a shopping center out there. They have to give you at least six months' grace, since you have a signed lease.

The reason for the secrecy may just be the fact that the old owner doesn't want that employee of his to know where he's going to be. Or it might be that the current owner has declared bankruptcy, and the court, in the person of the auditors, is taking inventory in preparation for auctioning off the place.

Hmmm ... if that's the case, then you and ecurbh and Hair should think about incorporating, and buying the place.

Relax, enjoy your place, and start salting money away so you can move if you have to.

And, by the way, Manny's in your court now ... assuming Hair doesn't shoot him, you have to do something with him ... he's naked, and he's stopping traffic ...

I'm concerned...

Last night, Steve and I went into the garden after dark...it was dark except for the light of the moon and we thought we'd look at the moon a while and enjoy the evening.

Then I saw a black shadow moving across the back along the fence...pretty big. My first thought was skunk (we've smelled 'em back there before) so I started freaking and telling Steve to just go in the house. He turned around and got a better look and he said it was just a black cat.

So we went ahead and went in the house. But today, no Fiver. Not all day. That little bunny (and I mean little...just a baby) had been back there for days and now it's just gone.

:-(

<laughing>Don't need hormones to see characters ... they just walk right up and introduce themselves, no matter what I'm doing!

You should read what I write when I'm really in the groove ...!

Sis, you need something small and vulnerable to love on. Don't let the next little critter that comes around go ... hang onto it for a while.

It's a win-win proposition ...

And if Fiver comes back, take pictures of him!

Well...I guess I could (whilst not looking too much) hand him the extra tarp I have over by the lawnmower...but then he'd better explain what the heck is going on.

You can look at his face ... it's a very nice face, with the oddest turquoise-colored eyes. Craggy and masculine, with shaggy reddish-gold eyebrows, a biggish nose and a dimple just to the left of his smile. He's one of those men who looks good with chin stubble.

Back to you ... how much 'splaining does Manny have to do while clutching an icky tarp for his modesty's sake and worrying about ol' Deadeye next door, standing on her porch and bringing her rifle up to her shoulder?

Awww, man... I'm sure you probably can't have a dog right now but have you thought of getting the jedis a kitten or something like that?

I have a sunburn in some really awful places. The tanning parlor lied when they said I could manage six minutes with my fair skin.
