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!

Again, I know it's nowhere near on the same scale, but I do kinda know how it feels.

The FReepers who think they know it all have no idea how annoying they are to those of us who really do.

Good morning!

I'm housesitting and freeping from a strange computer :o

There is a dog and two cats and no camera :(

Slept about as much as might be expected :/

Must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

We didn't get any snow. Some freezing rain last night but I don't think it was too bad. I hope g'nad's drive is very uneventful...

Roads were clear and dry this morning. There's so much salt on the road that you can't see the lane markers.

It's thegirl's birthday today...eleven years ago today at 12:30 she came into our lives...weighing 10.6 lbs...life will never be the same...she's an alfa child and has a lot of leadership skills (if you know what I mean).

We're eating Papa Murphie's pizza for dinner at her request. G'nad picked them up in Springfield yesterday when he went down to see the Orthopedic Surgeon...who put a cast-like brace on his hand...Surgery is scheduled for Dec. 21st.

Storm's coming from the south so I'll be driving away from it on the commute home this afternoon. Just hope they let us off werk early enough.

The weatherweenies have just revised the forecast--we're only going to get 2-3" unless it starts a more northerly move soon. But it looks like g'nad's area is going to get all that we don't :-(

2j, checking in!

It sleeted hard all night and still is!

I made the obligatory "store run" last night and then filled the van up with gas. The lightening was incredible and then, just as I got back in the car, it started pouring. Sometime in the night it turned to heavy sleet and woke me up!

I made hot muffins for the boys this morning.
