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!

But in opera, the tenor always gets the girl...usually. Mozart operas are different. Either the baritone gets the girl or girls are handed out all round. ;-)

Heh...listening to opera as we speak. Yes, I'm odd that way.

I take it then that you are a tenor. I'm tone deaf and can only sing in the key of flat.

Jeb Stuart had a great tenor voice and could often be heard singing on the battle field:

We’re the boys who went around McClellan…
Went around McClellan…
Went around McClellan…
We’re the boys who went around McClellan..
Bully boys, hey!
Bully boy, ho!

If you want to have a good time, jine the cavalry!
Jine the cavalry!
Jine the cavalry!
If you want to catch the Devil…
If you want to have fun…
If you want to smell Hell…
Jine the cavalry!

Appears firewoodguy is a no show, tis a beeeutiful day and hauling wood may not appeal to his 'sensitive' side...In other news, LSA cut the grass and since she bagged it, it went nicely into the compost bin. I raked leaves into piles and then proceeded to make bite sized pieces of them with the lawnmower. All the leaves raked and chopped fit into one leaf bag. Dang the yard looks good, should stay that way for hour or two. All done, gypsygirl is tired, she played hide and go see with her chipmunk friend around the old wood pile. Time for feet up surfing and then a bit of rest. Hmmm. ginger beer, sure does cut the leaf dust. bbl

Sensitive firewoodguys....fercryinoutloud!

My compost bin is full of tomato plants and I've got some kitchen stuff that needs to go in there. The Plan is to rake the leaves over the non-bulb beds and dig the stuff in.

The game is on. If it gets too bad, I'm headed out with the rake.

Yay!

I'm making bratwursts. We still have to get the kraut and beer but once that's here I'll dump 'em in the slow cooker and leave 'em for hours.

Great word count! I want to get more in today...

Could the rain at least slow down once in awhile?

Ungh...pretty miserable day. Hard to get motivated to do anything when its like this. Just been watching movies and goofing off.

I think the ground is getting pretty well saturated. I just hope my house floats, if worse comes to worst...

Even Cisco doesn't want to be out, and usually he likes to be outside during the day even when I'm home and even when its wet. He's sleeping with his head on my pillow again. I've tried to discourage such behavior, but...

the baritone gets the girl

In 'Don Giovanni', I believe that the baritone gets the Devil (or is that the bass gets the Devil).

You're up on blocks, I don't think you'll float away. :~) Any sign of leaks anywhere in that place?

It's leaking around the back door. I think if I had a better roof on that little porch, it'd be OK. And I could probably seal that door with duct tape during the winter. ;-)

The Devil gets the bass, I'd say. ;-)

I've not seen that opera in full. If I get Netflix again...I may have to see what's available on DVD.

Oh - well, that's not good. It's ok around the front and those windows though?

Some water is getting into the frame of the kitchen window, but not leaking into the house so far as I can tell. And at least the roof appears to be holding up...
