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!

Has the little varmint left your garden alone?

Oh...that particular chipmunk was at a house a block over although I have seen chipmunks hanging around my house. I'm content to blame the rabbits and squirrels for everything. :)

This isn't nice weather...it's too blasted hot.

About twenty degrees cooler...or twenty five - that'd be nice. And for hiking, tack another ten degrees onto those figures.

*sigh*

How people live in hotter climes, I'll never understand. I realize they say the same thing in reverse, but...

Talk about humiliating... we were stopped taking a break on trail about 5 miles out... and a woman when jogging by.

So we're leaving her church this morning, third time I've been there with her in five weeks, and my sweetie looks at me and says "what do you think of the auditorium?" (that's what they call the big preachin' and singin' room.)

I said "it's...nice?" (for so it is.)

"I mean, for a wedding."

Remind me, I still need to go get my jaw off the floor of the car...

everytime I deal with ordnance, 'specially the unexploded kind, it's like WTF am I doin'?...

kinda hard tuh believe the Tavor's interior could beat the Steyr... or the FN... but the accuracy and design intrigues me...

I don't like the fact that there are no iron sights, but then, if'n you're 30 meters or less, reflex should do the job... did me...

Sounds the HH Armoury should acquire a sample for extensive testing, eh?

Just lovely. :-)

I was tellin' your brother today that we had swapped weather. We had a Washington day here - gray and drizzly. Meanwhile, you had clear, sunny and hot weather.

Go figure.

Up to 80 degrees is fine with me... after that I start melting. People in hot climes use air conditioners.

Ugh, up to late yet again. Oh well. I'm glad this weekend is over, one brush with major injuries a week is enough for me.
