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!

Thursdays, huh?

Good. Gives us plenty of time to fill a few trash bags with aluminum cans and paper.

We're gonna use transparent trash bags, right? ;-)

Yeah, I told him that. He doesn't care.

It's the principle of the thing.

Breaks my little heart.

I was disappointed yesterday when I thought that al-Zarqawi died instantaneously. Now we learn he survived at least a few minutes. Just enough time to see the Americans standing over him (and mocking him, I hope).

I hope his eternity in hell includes constant reminders that he screwed his own pooch, and has nobody else to blame. And that the crusaders rained down justice from the sky onto his sorry ass just when he felt the most safe and invincible.

Woohooo!

Hey, I'm impressed with these Kentucky Wonder beans you suggested...they popped through the earth yesterday and are already 2-3" tall, no kidding!

Gophers have done more damage than Fiver. They take the whole dang plant! Took my entire fennel this afternoon. Gone like it never existed.

It would be nice to think that the last thing Zarky-baby saw before the blackness overtook him... was some fine soldiers of the U.S. walking up to him. Part of me wishes that some " " operator got to deliver the final high-velocity lead poisoning up close and in person.

However it went down... doesn't matter. He's dead Jim.

Apparently I missed a rather foul troll today? Hm.

Yay, it's the weekend!

Oh...saw a kinda cool bumper sticker on the way home today - said "Home of the free, because of the brave". I rather like that.

"Just where were you, Sam?"

There is an abandoned mango orchard near me, with some downed trees from past hurricanes. Chest high grass, vines growing over everything, even lots of mangos! Soon to be a homesite, unfortunately.

Evening everyone.

OK - just wondering if you were OK! Was about to head over there to check on you 'cuz we hadn't heard a peep from over there for awhile, and it was weird for him to be out. We've been quiet ourselves, watching LOST all evening :~)

FRMail us your new number... we've lost it!

I'm thinking of dragging my sister, who loves to sleep in and has been working the 4 to midnight shift all week, out of bed to go flower shopping. Or would that be too mean?

Dunno....do you think the red dot would freak out the varmints?
