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!

'Morning!

Miss Cat has been suitably medicated and I'm enjoying the morning air with a second cuppa.

Only got 1/8" of rain last night.

~sip~

Fun trip to the dogpark, gypsygirl is napping now. Been weeding, there was just enough rain to loosen the little suckers and been getting them tap root and all.

Iced coffee for me now.

If I'm going to do that pork shoulder today, I guess I'd better get started.

Need to do laundry too.

Got the fire started and therace is almost ready to start.

Maybe I should start my pumpkin seeds indoors. I have a sneaking suspicion that thevarmints have eaten the seeds I planted.

Gooooood afternoon. Went to see Big'ol play in his baseball game. They lost, but it was close and they played well.

I'm feelin' reeeeeeeeally lazy today. Prolly 'cuz it's 94 degrees and muggy. Can't wait to go to work tomorrow ... we have no AC. *sigh*

I'm pretty lazy today too. Got the shoulder on the grill and am waiting for both the race and the game to start. Need to do laundry, clean and do something with the collards and turnips.

I'm exhausted already! :)

Water break found! :~D

Since the plumber yesterday couldn't find the pipe, let alone the break in the pipe, we decided, after a big breakfast, to find it ourselves. (Hair knew where it was the whole time, it was three feet away from the plumber's hole, where the grass was a LOT thicker and greener than anywhere else, but she's not saying I told him so!)

So here we are out in front of our place... Rosie's landlord, ecurbh, Rosie and Cartman... Hair with the camera... hunting around for the source of the bubbles.

Found! Water's off now, but it was drippin down right there in the middle.

Rosie's landlord said "You guys know how to fix?" I said "I've seen it done on TV!" ~smiles~ He said he'd call a plumber.

Heh...that's what ecurbh said. I think that's when the landlord said we needed a plummer. ;-)

I hope they fix it today!

Whoo-hoo. As the fella said, 'yup, that's a leak alright, probably a hole in the pipe'. :-)

Congrats Ecurbh. Have shovel, will find leak.

Congrats Hair. Keen eye there.

If it wasn't for the hunk o' meat I've got on the grill, I'd sooner have the rain. :)

Awesome!

Rosie's landlord looks kinda like a chick from the side, with that hair.
