The Hobbit Hole VIII - Still round the corner we may meet...

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

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!

Yep - going to the beach house in a little bit, when we can break inertia. It will be nice there today! Maybe I'll get a sun burn!

It is so thrilling to have true spring up here in this part of the country -- the weather is so fabulous! Have a great day...btw is Corin back yet?

Two bits of advice: Never give up FR or Pints for Lent!

I don't think my cake will last that long!

But I can always make another one.

I remember from last year too. When we got to 2J's birthday in mid-March it was one birthday right after another for us for several weeks!

OK! But I think that will kinda creep him out!

Well, it ain't all that weird! I have been known to scratch my brother's backs! It is a fairly benign thing actually. LOL

So, how about I just send Jerry the better part of this poagie bait I have right now since we've got the mail problems in Iraq.

Sounds like a great idea. I'm sure Steve will tell us when this all blows over. Meanwhile, "Jerry's kids" would be thrilled.

Well, I'm going to send 2 nice boxes to Debra's group in Afghanistan then, and the rest of that I posted to Jerry.
