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! |

2J, are you around? I wanted to try making flaxseed pancakes one of these days, and wondered if you had the recipe handy.
BTW, this weekend I discovered a WONDERFUL treat that you could have later on, when you can have fruit - strawberry omelets! Sounds weird, but they're really, really good. Made a filling with chopped up strawberries, some ricotta cheese, a little vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon, and one packet of Splenda. Then after the omelet was done, I sprinkled more cinnamon on the outside. Kinda like a crepe, but with just egg. I think it would have been even better if I'd used part cream cheese, since the ricotta was a little on the mushy side, but still highly tasty.

Speaking of which...I'm sorry to hear about the kitty. I know it wasn't unexpected, but it's still hard to let 'em go. My condolences.

Doing fine so far. She's happy, healed up for the most part, and enjoying life. It's HIGHLY likely that the cancer will reoccur according to the doc, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Um, it felt a bit like "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", if that helps make choices.I saw a preview last night, and got that feeling. Clare wanted to go last night, but the friends she was going with were not able to. One of her friends is leaving for Japan tomorrow for a couple of weeks. Clare is SO jealous!
Did you watch the Harry Potter special last night? Azkaban looks like it's gonna be fun! We finished reading "Order of the Phoenix" last week out loud with the kids. SSQ had not read it, so we had fun reading it to him. He liked it!
We began "A Wrinkle in Time" last night. Did you know it's going to be on ABC tonight?

Nope. I wasn't still online but I don't have cable anyway.This was the main feature:
The Penalty
Lon Chaney turns in an amazing performance in this silent horror film, for which he had to wear an extremely painful harness that kept his legs strapped behind his back. Chaney stars as Blizzard, a double amputee who is out to get revenge on the incompetent doctor who performed the needless amputation on him when he was a child. Now the head of San Francisco's crime syndicate, Blizzard begins his revenge scheme by insinuating himself into the life of the doctor's daughter by serving as her model for a portrait of Satan. Soon, Blizzard's plan encompasses not only humiliating the doctor and his daughter, but also, as he descends into madness, conspiring with the communists on an invasion of the Bay Area. Absurd, frightening, melodramatic, and highly entertaining, THE PENALTY is a high point of 1920s horror.
Heading outside to finish my workout; back in a bit.
