The Hobbit Hole IX - A sudden tree or standing stone

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A sudden tree or standing stone
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 Want a New Hole
by
Hobbit Lewis and the News from Bree
(ExGeeEye) I want a new hole
One that's not to deep
One that's built on an uphill slope
One that's easier to sweep
I want a new hole
One that's close to the Road
With the Green Dragon not too far
A comfy hobbit's abode
One with a big brass doorknob
On a round green door
One that makes me feel like
You should come over for...
Elevenses and more...

We're going to be doing the Mexican food thing tomorrow. I'm making a big old Enchilada Casserole for Joseph's Robotics Club pot luck supper. Tomorrow is also SSQ's birthday, and it's one of his favorite dishes!I always figure that since I grew up eating food cooked by a Mexican Abuelita I get by with celebrating Cinco de Mayo with gorging myself! Course, it doesn't hurt that my best friend (Purpleq's mom) is Mexican and then also my son-in-law is 1/2 Mexican too. So, oughtta respect for them I should eat lots and lots of Mexican food especially for Cinco de Mayo!!! :-)
Oh! And I almost forgot! My new friend here - Celia is Mexican too! Gotta pay my respects to her too ya know! :-D

I got some d@^^n good enchiladas in NM! Stacked, green chile enchiladas. *swoon* Me too *swoon*! :-)
Just can't beat a green enchilada!!! I figured you were eatin' awefully good over there! Gotta take every chance you can get for that kind of thing. I'm with you, I can eat Mexican for many meals running without skipping a beat. Always surprises me when fellow Texicans can't follow that!

We got into some salsa that made me sweat a bit- good stuff. The Murl-lenders couldn't hack it, ergo more for me!
I had forgotton how cheap you can eat out there. $7.50 buys a plate big enough to stuff me silly. Big'ol took me out for cajun last nite after picking me up at the airport (he's such a sweetie) and it was twice as pricey for a smaller plate. Argh. East Coast livin' is not for me.

Thanks Hair! I'm growing attached to Ginger already, even though I still stop for a moment when I walk out of the house every morning when I realize Betsy is gone.

Oh that was so sweet of Big Ol to take you out last night! And Cajun is yummy too!
I know what you mean about Mexican! It doesn't take much cash to fill ya up good. Not a bad bargain for flavor vs dollars at all! Maybe the best bargain there is!

I was going to respond to you in the last thread, but was hastily removed! *smile*
Becky was tearful about leaving Betsy behind (so was I), so I told her we needed to give the Rav4 a name. She thought for a split second and said "Ginger". So Ginger it is!

Wneighbor: the elves are always bumping their heads on the cieling and leaving their bows in the hall, but as long as they bring
lembas to go with the eggs and rashers of bacon, no problem.
Rosie: "Strange as news from Bree" was the idea :)
Hair: I might have one laying about at the house. Won't be back there until late this eve. Thanks for thinkin' of me that way :)

Hi all!!!
New digs again!!! Ai Ai Ai!! (are elves familiar with Chihuahua?)
Have completely dismantled my blog page. It was so overrun with comment spammers I just gave up. Now I only post on Live Journal, which seems to be a much more laid back community. They are a bit more sensitive and not a whole lot are inclined to debate (at least, not a lot), but I feel like I can post there any time I please without feeling that if I miss a day, I will have lost my 'audience.' I am enjoying it a lot. Plus there are some very creative/artistic people who post on there, and I don't feel like I am going to bore people if I decide that for a day or two I'd rather talk about how Manly Jack Aubrey is over how Manly President Bush is (which both are, but the two arent exactly the same, you know?!)
anyway, that's what I ahve been doing, including trying to wean myself of the computer as well. I quit going to the Khazad-dum forum because I got ticked off for being called on the carpet for things that had never been a problem up until the time two new posters to the thread I managed decided to stir up trouble and bad mouth the characters/books we were talking about. THEN I was in trouble for going slightly off-topic. It was really stupid and I decided I was tired of walking on egg-shells with these people.
Have been catching up to some crochet and gardening. I love my new house!
Hope all is well with everyone! Hair, you are SUCH a wonderful Hobbit Hole Keeper!
