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!

They were beautiful horses. I was very proud of Gyspy, she didn't freak out, bark, try chasing them; she was a perfect lady. She did whimper a bit, however.

Unlike my dog, your dog is not a moron. ;-)

They're beautiful!

Joshua got nibbled on the head by a horse that looked like that at the Scottish games here in Tulsa. I think I even posted a picture in the Hole...it was a long time ago, though and I can't even find the picture on my computer now.

Bear? Can you find that post? I'd like to save that picture again!

I'm going to start spiffing the guest room today. There's boxes on the bed and such. School supplies all over.

Also, I gotta haul Sauraman in here to keep you company. Heh heh!

Logging off for now...Steve will be home in a bit. They said the testing would take about 3 hours and it started at 8am. Then we're off to the VW Car Show.

See you all later.

Thanks for the congrats; Gypsy needed her walk and the drizzle quit so off we went. While on the walk we checked out a pup that LSA told me about. It appears that it is a Dachador or Labrashund. Can't say as we've ever seen one before.

There are a couple of stables and most of the folks on the road to the range have horses. We thought they might be Belgians, but figured you would know.

Gypsy and the one LSA is petting touched noses. I would guess they are quite used to people and dogs.

We weren't sure how Gypsy would react so we kept her on the leash but once she sniffed them, she didn't pay much attention to them.

Yay! I got the living room windows open!

People who paint windows shut ought to be shot.

Dang...reading on from there we were getting all deep and stuff. Been awhile since we really discussed The Books like that.

And I got spanked for Boromir bashing...heh. Good times, good times.

It sounds like a preposterous combination!

I had some friends in high school who had a corgi/Lab mix. She looked like a lab with muddy legs, cut off at the knee.

Aww, Thanks, but there's quite a few with similar tenure both here and elsewhere on FR.

How exciting!! Any opportunity to meet and get networking out there is a GOOD thing. Who knows? Even if KC didn't need him, someone he meets there may know of some company who DOES.

Got me a new John Deere self-propelled mower. Starts with a key.

Kewl! Just remember to keep the starter charged!
