The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...

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! |

Happy Anniversary Hair and ecurbh!
This is a drive by posting.
One arm. Paper hanger. You know the drill.
At least I almost burned my eyes out with my contact solution. And the Mrs. broke a toe.
So, it's a pretty normal day.

Great pictures as always. I'm so glad you guys had such a good time.
The weather looks great!
In other not-so-great news, my car is having serious trouble. I've been researching what it could be and I'm almost 100% sure that I've cracked a head gasket or at the very least, a valve.
I can't explain how it happened, since I have the oil changed every 3000 miles and always have the fluids topped off at the same time.
I suspect that the previous owner mistreated the car and now I'm going to pay the price.
For those who want details...
I had the oil changed yesterday and on the way home, the engine started to rattle significantly and great billows of white smoke poured from my tailpipe. The engine's always had a bit of a rattle to it, especially early in the morning - but I chalked it up to being a six-year old car.
I've seen nearly invisible wisps of white "steam" from the tailpipe too. But only in the morning after the car has sat for a while. And this has happened since I bought it.
I think my ignorance of mechanics has cost me dearly. I should have taken it back to the dealer, but I didn't want to deal with the hassle. :-/

It sure did. :-(
I'm hoping it isn't the worst case scenario. A mechanic-friend of my sister's works at the service place where I took the car this morning.
He suspects bad gasoline or something related to fuel. That would be a LOT less expensive since it's basically a flush of the fuel system.
*fingers crossed*

Mornin', honey!
Glad you're feeling better. I was thinkin' about you all morning here but it was too early to call.
I should hear something about the car in a few hours.
P.S. We need furniture. ;-)

I'm thinking about a japanese motif. Much simpler.
Just need some reed mats and a couple of low tables, little rollup pads for sleeping.
