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! |

Every time I pass by a gaggle of middle school girls I get down on my knees and thank the Almighty that I had two boys. Which is why my children will be homeschooled. Presuming I have any.
I look at those girls, and what they become in high school and college, and I say "There but for the grace of God go I." It's scary.

I am blessed that in many ways God kept 'em from doing *some* of the things their mama did!

Have fun mowing.
When you're homeschooling, it's easier to lock the kid up during the hormone phase. Then again... I was just not interested in boys until I was 15 or so; and then all the ones I knew were so boring.

Yeah...but I know I NEVER was like those horrifyingly giggly girls you see in packs around town. Neither is my sister. Neither was Jen, I'm bettin'.
I swear...I had girls I was friends with all the way through elementary school, but as soon as the public school ones made it to highschool, they became unbearable. Seriesly. I had two or three homeschooled friends who I stayed close to, but the others starting talkin' back to parents, swooning over boy bands, the works.
And it's happening younger and younger now, I'd say!

Some of my homeschooled acquantances were no better. Right, so most of them were no better. But a few were better.
But I was better. Of course, I was also the geeky girl in the corner reading science fiction over lunch, rather than gossiping - our homeschool co-op provided me with the chance to be a not-popular girl.
Sigh. But here I am, almost 21, haven't had a boyfriend yet. Only had one crush, but it was a bad one. And the giggly girls all have boyfriends. It'll work out in the end, I suppose...

Bet he's single.What led you to that conclusion? :)
To: JenB
Eowyn look sounds more acceptable :) But I bet it's a good thing there are no costumes available based on Robert Heinlein or Connie Willis characters. . .
To: Fedora
Only that he isn't wearing a ring...

Didn't we have a discussion about Heinlein 'costumes' last night?
And I confess to a slight desire to look like the girl in "To Say Nothing of the Dog". (Verity, not Tossie!) Even if Victorian costuming is a little weird.

He'd probably answer that, um, the ring wasn't part of the costume--ROFL!
