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!

I've already pinged 2J and Sam Cree to the thread, but maybe it's of general interest...

Well, to be fair, a pretty fish is a rare thing.

Would not want to try to catch that one with the 'stick your arm in the whole and let it bite you' method.

One more question, though...if for any reason I can't make it by one, would you guys be willing to run and get it with me at about three? In my van, I mean.

I get the impression his girl friend wants nothing to do with the whole process...so if he's not there, I'm thinkin' I need other help.

Sorry to be such a pain in the rear over all this! Figures everything would come up in the same weekend...

First snow of the season pictures :~)

Pony pony... :~)

Horses in the back forty... Not much to do out there on a drippy slushy morning...

Knockin' the snow off the electric tape that sags in the snow...

Pretty bleak scene from the far end...

Cool... still just rain here, and from the looks of it, up north.

Nice pictures! Was pretty, if slushy.

Dryer obtained. Hopefully there'll be a relatively calm moment this afternoon.

And Cisco was a goooood dog again. Woo-hoo! I left him watching Reign of Fire. Poor baby. ;-)

Dang...that's a lot of words in a short time!

Guess I need to get motivated. I'm really burned out about now. Want to rewrite rather than work forward.

At least I have a pretty good grasp of the plot, albeit a totally different plot from the original.

So who wants to volunteer to talk me out of doing the Christmas show next year?

Well, we weren't successful this year, so I guess we'll just have to see what develops during 2007. ;o)

Thanks for the link, nice fish, wonder what they used for bait?

Why does "We're gonna need a bigger boat" come to mind?
