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! |

I in the car listening to Rush and eating lunch the other day and heard a newscast about how some local school's Iowa basic scores had gone up. They were all happy that the kids scored microscopically higher in the spring as the had in the fall...
I just about choked on my drink. I don't know if they just read the numbers wrong but one line the guy read was that 5 to 6 percent of students had improved in XYZ subject between fall and spring. A lot of patting their own backs for what amounted to saying 'the kids learned almost nothing in the last school year'. I SURE hope that guy read the numbers wrong.

I just found out they're ordered a Blackberry for me. I'm so depressed.

If we ever have a kid who scores at the average level, he is going to academic boot camp for the rest of his life. It's sad how bad the scores are.

No excuses! Not even ninjas can use excuses on their mothers!

Geeze - a couple in a station wagon... she said they are friends of the people we gave that camper too (the 'gypsies' that lived out in front of Rosie's place) well, they've been broke down out in front in the store parking lot, and they asked if they could roll the car into the area between the store and our fence because... you see, they live in the car and they aren't going to get it running till at least tomorrow when a friend can come and help.
Yeesh. I actually said no, they can't pull into that space, because our water line is there, and not very deep, and cars that have driven there before have broken it. That's true... And I don't want them blocking our access to the horse trailer.
I told them they should push it off into the scotch broom on the side if they want a little privacy tonight. In the mean-time... we've now got these rather broke folk out front with nowhere to be. I told them I was glad to know they were going to be there, or I'd have been suspicious of them hanging around all night out there, and that I'd keep an eye out for anyone hassling them. Now... we just need to keep an eye on them... I've been in charity work a long time, and I'm pretty good at assessing people. They seem OK, but desperation makes people a little unpredictable. Keep an eye out.

The sky is blue and all the leaves are green. The sun's as warm as a baked potato. I think I know precisely what I mean, When I say it's a shpadoinkle day. Evening ALL - guess I had one of them shpadoinkle days. Field work, wetlands delineations and stream surveys. Beautiful blue sky, mild temperatures, low humidity, haven't found any ticks (yet), no phone, no meetings, no emails, yep, shpadoinkle it was.. I used my digital camera for the first time, (we use the company camera for the record photos). I took some sample photos, now comes the mysterious , I've put the camera next to the computer..so how long do I have to wait for the pictures in the camera to migrate or osmose to the computer? :-)

Well I am here and got my packet. Now I am sitting my the lake and doing so searches for sporting goods stores that might still be open. That or a Walmart. All I really need is some sun screen I guess.
To: TalonDJ
I got invitation stuff. Only I got one box that was white instead of off-white, grr, how stupid, but three stores and an hour of staring at this crap makes my head hurt.
Give me half an hour or so for dinner and then call when you feel like it ;-)
