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! |

I'm excited for you! You're diet sucess is inspiration for me- I need to get back on the wagon. I'm not a success yet! Still have a long ways to go...I weigh in tomorrow to see just HOW far, but something along the lines of twenty pounds, which STILL won't be allll the way down to my pre-enlistment days, but close enough, especially as I'm older now.
Tomorrow I'm starting the second phase of the diet, which means I can have fruit (most fruits, anyway...I'm sticking with berries and melon for now) and whole grains. Hopefully I'll keep losing weight, albeit slowly. I'm prepared for slow...just don't want to stop entirely.

Thanks for the report! Sounds neat!--I've always been fascinated with caves since reading about Tom Sawyer getting lost in the Mammoth Caves :) The Space Museum and White Sands monument sound cool, too!
To: Overtaxed

Picked up a copy of Master and Commander the other night, watched it. Good movie, IMO. We watched it last night. I thought it was well done, and it's refreshing that the age of PCifying movies by adding female characters or sticking people of different races in places where they wouldn't have been just to make it "right" seems to be ending.
Too many long fight scenes for me, I admit, though. I found my interest wandering. But I could still admire it as a well made, well acted film - and my brothers loved it.

Speaking of which, got to go finish my own workout here--started this morning and took a break to dust my computer which badly needed it. Be back in a bit!
To: Fedora
Heh...the twenty pounds number wasn't what I've lost...it's what I have left to lose.
But I'll be able to say that sometime, which is good.
Yeah, I can have homemade bread, as long as it's whole grain. I'll probably wait a week to see how adding certain other things back goes, but I'm looking forward to having some in the not too distant future!

So far, I've just picked from the herb list. Gonna get some flowers (don't know what kind yet) and some more tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant....just in case.
To: Wneighbor
Hehehe....Bodine blowed up.
To: Overtaxed
Yeah, mostly it was the herbs I was looking at. But, also Bee Balm. I would like some of that. Wish we had a place like that near enough for me... but I have to go a long ways to get to the nearest place with a good selection.
However, if you ever come down here there is an herb farm about 90 miles south of me. If you were here for a few days we could drive down there. I love just going and "window shopping!" But, of course I always come home with stuff too!

Bee balm....scribble, scribble. Maybe some ferns would be nice but maybe my patio is too bright for it? I'm planning on moving some of my housplants outside eventually. Ferns would go well with a patio fountain.
To: 2Jedismom
It must not sound real good though, because as usual, no one asked for more!Oh contraire. I asked for more. it was very nice. And was I not ahgoshed?? I was amazed that you had gotten so good in so short a time. How you doin?
To: Wneighbor
BTW...this place is just down the street from where I work....I should go hike their trails this summer.
To: Overtaxed
Ferns would go well with a patio fountain.Yeah, they would! When I have tried with ferns the Texas heat and dryness always does them in toward July. They never make it through the summer for me. There would have to be some kind of fountain near them for me too.
