The Hobbit Hole XXXI - Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

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!

No, I just never got Rosie drunk and made her watch mind-altering substances.

Well, it's just maybe not your style... ;~)

Maybe so. Also I don't have as high an alcohol capacity as you, I bet.

The 'javeline catching' never seem to catch on, though.

Don't acutally 'need' the glasses, at least not as long as I still have several larger font sizes available. :-)

You picked a lot of those and I don't think you ever got drunk...

Heh...come to think of it, I picked some of the most mind-altering of the lot.

Like "Logan's Run".

Out for coffee and a danish and some writing...I like this place.

It's rainy here so we're just playing computer games. Neverwinter Nights particularly - running around killing things and looting peoples' homes. The puppies are outside in the rain. It's too cold so I'm making Talon take them. ;-)

How sweet! NN is a fun little game.

I'm just in from the garden and end-of-season yardwork chores. I might take a nap. The jet lag got me really bad this time. :( I got lots of nano-prep done over the trip. Made one of my blander characters into a real jerk. He'll get better, though. That's his arc.

You have a lot more dedication than I do. I'm still not decided for sure which plot I'm going with.

Did get in about a thousand words on the other story, though. It's approaching 70k...though there are a few thousand works that really should be surgically removed. I'll get to that, I guess.

It's frustrating how *slow* it is, getting a story out of your head and onto paper/screen.

This story is very important to me because it is essentially a fictionalized memoir of some of the most formative experiences of my life. Its been ten years since I was back in those mountains in New Mexico. So it's time to tell the story.

He must have mistyped it. Extra "t" or something.

I'm not sure I wanna know what it means in Siamese Brat.

We just cleared out our garden...got a half a grocery sack full of green tomatoes, habenero, jalapeno, bell and banana peppers.

We also went to the zoo and got a whole pickup back full of zoo doo.

A few weeks ago, we planted radishes and spinach...they're all up and doing fine. Last weekend I planted 300 turnips and they're already up. Today I planted 36 collard plants and maybe the same number more spinach.

Steve's out in the shop working on the Bug. We ordered the heater channel. I hugh step.

That strikes me as a lot of turnips. But, then again, to me, two turnips would be a lot of turnips. :-)
