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!

heh! I'm still on the old time zone...I went to bed before 10pm last night. Plus, I'm sick, so I crash pretty early and wake up due to coughing...

Uploading parade pics.

Oh well...might as well get the day started early.

Still...ungh.

Here we are, cued up to start the parade. The sign on the back of the wagon has a picture of a yellow Beetle and says "1970 Beetle, being restored."

I had the camera in the wagon, and am surprised someone didn't reach in and get it, but I never got a chance to stop long enough to take a picture.

Thought about that, after the fact.

Speaking of toothpicks, how did the door repair go?

I need to get a new screw. The screw head was a bit rounded and I couldn't "get a grip."

Well...I figure everyone assumes they'll be ships and that we'll have figured out how to do certain things...so why should I have to explain how, say, the power system works?

At least, that's my excuse.

Well, drat. On the bright side, the additional time allows for more "curing" of the toothpick/glue combo :-)

I've got Frost too.. :~D

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Heh...gotta go to the hardware store and get some parts.

Parts is parts.

hehehe...

I still need to figure out the thermostat controls for the furnace. It's one of those programmable ones, but the interface is just not very intuitive. Of course there's no manual around. It's got a program in it, but it ends up kicking on and off at odd times.

Smart aleck...

I do like Frost, though. He lived all around the area where I grew up...one of my friends used to live a few doors down from one of his old homes. His poems are mostly about things I saw all the time.

That one strikes me as rather Hobbity. ;-)

Of course! The easy way is always mined.
