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!

I was once talking to the guy that lived next door when I was a kid and a bird pooped on his head. He commenced to swearing mightily and while he was in mid-sentence, my dog peed on him.

Morning!

We seem to have gotten a little rain last night. I don't know if I should work in the yard today or start tackling the mess in the house that has accumulated during yard work days.

Yep, Steve collected some of that rain last night, I bet.

The grass is really green. Won't stay that way, I'm sure...by mid-August, it'lll be crispy.

I don't know what kind of frog it is, but it's definitely not a toad.

Becky has gone in a few time to try to help me make a positive ID on species, but we're both too chicken to get ~too~ close of a look. :-)

We got a grill. It's fairly nice for Wal-mart. Yay! Now I have time to get to the tanning parlor before going out with friends.

Also Talon ran a triathalon this morning. He's awesome! Love you honey!

Woo-HOO! Congrats Talon!

I'm off to run errands. The frog can just stay in the toilet until I get back. Blech.

10 more days! *happy dance*

Did the dog have a low opinion of those women, or a high opinion?, do you suppose :~D

Split water lines do wonders for dry grass...

Good morning! I think our water pressure is a little lower than it was yesterday evening, but at least we still have water. I have this fear of ending up all soaped up with no way to rinse off...probably just due to the fact that our well generally ran out of water by the end of the day during summer when everyone was home.

*sigh* Have to go out on another shirt quest today. Had another die (my favorite, at that - has a hole worn through the front) and I need more for werk still. Guess it's Value Village again, and I don't plan on taking much time on it. If someone hogs the dressing room, they may get hurt.

Maybe I can come up with some story ideas while I'm out. I read through to the end of what I'd written and can't recall where I planned to go from there. I'm facing a vasty nothingness populated by evil toasters and aloe plants, and it's a bit frightening.

Well, we're not sure, so let's go with a very high opinion and he wanted to take her home.

Jen, why are you going to a tanning parlor?

The whole concept makes no sense to me ... but, if you want to tan, what's wrong with the sun?

I would have died of a heart attack on the spot.

Maybe that's what got Elvis.
