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.

I have no real knowledge, but I suspect it ended when coteblanche left FR.

Oh sure...tell me when I'm too far away to take the birdfeeder down.

I'm only three hours away. How much will you pay me?

I am not sure at this point whether I prefer sheaths or the alternative - no sheaths.

Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Refrain

Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves,
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Count me in. I don't know how I'm going to do it. But, after the last month - I need to do this for myself MORE than ever!

Hair; Corin & g'nad had a good run alright, shame I missed it. :-(

Would have been good practice for the Fifth Annual Ozark Selfbow Jamboree next week. Will have to save them for another time, I s'pose.

On second thought, yup, just hold that thought.

Hmmm... interesting hymn. Reminds me of one of the "Narnia" books, "Magician's Nephew", when the two children and the cab driver were waiting in the dark for something to happen. I think they sang that hymn.

Sigh... morning comes again in too few hours. I need more play time.
