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 think you're right, Corin. I do think you're right.

Sigh... four days until my next visit...

We just had an "all brush" of the pets out on the lawn. With this heat, everyone is shedding in bushels.

Everyone gather round!

Cartman rubs the comb, rather than the comb rubbing him... (also pictured... Part of the pile of hair I pulled off Gidget)

Speaking of Gidget :~)

As much as critters seem to shed, it's a wonder they aren't bald..ours are the same way. I've said we could stuff pillows easily with the doggie and kitty fur we've combed out over the years. Heck, one season sometimes.

I've been meaning to do the same for Cisco, and you reminded me. He's all brushed out!

Not as impressive a pile o' hair as Gidgets, but there's a bunch. The breeze got most of it.

The wind is being a little scary, but it sure feels good. means I no longer have an excuse not to mow, though.

Yeah - the wind is great. Your place rocks and rolls in the wind quite a bit, doesn't it? :~D

*sigh*

You know, it never ever ever fails that the lawnmower runs out of gas right as I'm almost done. Always. And I hate dealing with the gas...

OK, off to mow the last little bit. And as I keep saying, one of these days I should weedwhack.

Actually, we had just made it in from our walk and it started sprinkling. I thought the rumbling we heard were just far-off big firecrackers and that was making Gypsy nervous. Evidently, not!! LSA

Well, the current storm didn't even get the deck totally wet but it's still thundering enough that Gypsy has taken refuge under the computer desk...

Miss Cat is curled up in my computer case. She doesn't jump at storm unless there's a strike close by.
