The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Well, regardless of you think of each other, we Elves will still look down our noses at you.

'Don't try!' said the old hobbit, turning round and slapping him on the back. `Ow!' he cried. `You are too hard now to slap! But there you are: Hobbits must stick together, and especially Bagginses. All I ask in return is: take as much care of yourself as you can. and bring back all the news you can, and any old songs and tales you can come by. I'll do my best to finish my book before you return. I should like to write the second book, if I am spared.' He broke off and turned to the window again, singing softly.

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall ever see.

For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.

I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.

But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.

~Bilbo Baggins, Rivendell.

Sorry to burst in like this, but I cannot remember who did that BEAUTIFUL photo of the bridge over the Brazos River...

I finally figured out how to access my subdomains, and have begun work on my History of Fort Bend county page... here's a bit of it, but it is by no means complete...it may be radically different by the time I get finished doing the writeup...

You think that's beautiful?

Oh, how funny! It took me a second to notice the chicken...then I cracked up.

Good morning!

That chicken got up there all by it's self! See how Joshua is holding Benny Hen? Well, Puffy never likes it when you hold Benny only, so she'll hop right up on you. Then she keeps hopping up and up till there she is, on your head!

It's the first time she's done it to Steve...

Good morning! I was wondering how it got up there...then read on about how she likes to get up as high as possible. Silly chicken! They're growing fast, aren't they?

Heh...just changed my calendar for today - I have one of those picture a day calendars, of cats - the cat for today is named Baggins!

Good morning.

Any more news on the job, OT? My brother found out yesterday that he is the only one in his section at work that has a job. They are letting everyone else go and my brother is moving to Houston (he is in Midland).

He starts the new job Aug. 1st. Even his boss lost his job.

The babies are going to be some big chickens, I think! They are half the size of the older chickens already and have more feathers than they did at this age! I can see putting them out in the coop in a week, maybe two...inside their cooplet, for added protection...

Krispy kremes are vile little donuts.

But I'm up 105% on them....they just broke out of a base!

I'm not saying that organic is somehow wrong. It's fine, but it carries statistically similar risks to any other form of agriculture.

Of course if they're fertilizing with animal manure that hasn't been composted properly there's the risk of E. coli contamination. I'd rather deal with hazards that don't grow on their own.
