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! |

You'll have lots of mornings with frost... enough to freeze wet pavement, but we don't get tons of ~ice~... a week or so, here and there, of snow that doesn't usually last a real long time. They need rain gear more than ice gear, but some good hiking type boots/shoes are always appropriate.

Heh... we have a terrific birthday present for Becky, it's a DVD we just watched last night.
It's really corny. I think it's written just for little girls :~)

That's what I figured - hiking boots.
They're waterproof, have great tread and are usually lined with warm stuff. :-D
Becky's up. And she wants to wear The Boots.
~sigh~

They love it. Which is such a relief to me because I was seriously worried about it.
Becky adores her teacher and has not one, but TWO best friends already. And the fact that she can wear whatever she likes to school instead of the same crummy uniform day after day has been another plus.
The real test is to see how she feels about it halfway though the school year, when all of the cool "newness" wears off.
Aly really likes her PreK too and I wish I could afford to have her there more often. But for now, twice a week half-days are good enough. :-D

That dog is awful cute, too.
But their owner is a little...well, let's just say this idea wouldn't occur to most owners. ;-) Funny.

Looked to me like the cat was frozen with FEAR under the water! The dog was swimming along, but the cat's legs were stiff as a board!

OOOOh! Russell Crowe! Have to see about that from Netflix. Is is sort of a "Misty of Chincoteaue", but in Australia, type movie?

He's very young in it, it's before he was in anything remotely big... we just looked it up and it's from 1993. If you're a fan of his, there's hunky bits where he looks manly and unshaven and takes his shirt off to wash in the creek. And there's lots of terrific scenes of wild horses running and playfighting.
It's really unbelievably corny, lots of rather imaginative anthropomorphism about what horses think about, lots of "tree huggin' hippy crap" about being one with nature and letting nature tell you what to do. It's written in context of a mom who is writing a horse story for her daughter, and this horse and Russell are sortof real-life characters in it.
Very much like lots of stories written for little girls who love horses, absolutely no bad language or even sexual tension in it.

Sounds like a less serious version of "The Man from Snowy River".

We saw that film every year in grade school.

It is... "Man from Snowy River" without the love story or complicated character development, same plot, right down to "mystical brumby stallion he keeps trying to catch but who always eludes him... the stallion even ends up stealing away one of the guy's mares, just like in MFSR. :~)

I'd probably like it, then. I really like "Snowy River".
