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!

Hmmm. Trailride....Have a great time. 'post pics' :-)

Thanks, the GIS guy, told me about Molly the lab. They bought one of those rope things, Molly completely shredded it in a few hours. I had one 'hugh' rawhide bone, left over from Gifford's days. So I gave it to him, the next day, he told us Molly took it, immediately set about undoing one end knot and happily chewing away. He was impressed to say the least.

There will be pictures, I'm sure.

He needs to be careful with rawhide and labs too though.... one of those rawhide bones came out of my lab still in one piece :~o

I know... gonna be hot. The fireworks were not too bad last night, they were holding back :~)

Did you notice any change in Cisco on just one of the pills? Homer was still quaking on the end of our bed, but at least he wasn't whining and clawing at us :~)

Cisco *loves* his rope bones...but the worst he does is to carefully bite the ends off - down to the knot - and leave those little threads all over the house.

He did, however, pretty much completely destroy a set of puppy chew keys this week. The ring is still there, but the keys have no ends.

Let's hope they decide to make it an import item; with a 16" bbl. and semi-auto action. I think it would be 'vey' interesting.

Heh...I think Cisco's a lightweight. He was pretty out of it. Usually he follows me all around the house as I get ready for bed, but last night he would follow me a few steps and then lie back down. Not worth the effort. ;-)

He didn't bark at all, and the fireworks last night were on my side - right across the road, I think. Lotta yelling going on, too.

Gypsy hasn't shown much interest in her rope bone. For her, it's gotta be a sweeky. The frisbees have numerous holes in them from her retrieving them. She doesn't have a soft mouth.

'Morning!

Just finished laundry...getting ready to tour the Shire before the game starts.

Looks like it'll be an AC-free day today. Got chicken to put on thegrill, a game, and a race to watch. I may get some more plants potted up sometime today. Do you think eggplant would make a good ornamental for the front stoop?

Glad to hear you are on watch, keeping your quadrant of theshire secure is important. Sure is a nice day. Guess it's time to go back out and enjoy somemore of it.

Hehehe....saw a chipmunk pop out of what looked like a freshly dug hole in one of the neighbor's front yard.

My grandparents had a German Shephard like that. Her idea of doggie heaven was to lay on her back with her mouth open, and have one of us kids squirt air in her mouth with her squeekie mouse.

Not a good mix. Kinda makes me nervous that someone will get hurt one of these days.

Back from church. Pony is very displeased again.

Does she call for us when we're gone? :~D

We're back... had a terrific ride. It's 20 degrees cooler in the woods up there. It's cooler here than over at your place too, if you want to come over.
