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!

This kinda jumpy in storms we can handle, Gypsy just goes there and stretches out. She's 'safe', no sense getting all het up about it.

I don't recall the weathertypes even talking about it. It's been unseasonably nice these past several days, been diggin' it.

Luna Tique might just turn out to be Verlabeana Frapplestein's best friend.

...or long lost daughter, mother, sister, piano teacher...

I'm debating doing realistic fiction for once this year. Maybe something painfully dramatic and overwrought.

But that name could still be fun to work in. ;-)

Heh...

The lunatic, the coward, and the moron. I love our dogs...despite their problems. ;-)

Cisco got to play with the hose a whole bunch, so he's happy and about as tired as he gets.

Evenin' everyone!

Ramius got in late. As if the 2 hour delay in Chicago wasn't enough torment, thunderstorms here made it impossible for them to land and his plane circled around until 9:30pm. :-/

We made it here about an hour and some ago; had a bite and chatted with my mom a bit. We're both tired, so we're trying to wrangle the girls to bed and catch a few winks before having to face the airport in the morning.

I'll try to post before we go, but if not - we'll see ya in Seattle! ;-)

She may even be kin to Female (Feemolly) Jones.
