The Hobbit Hole IX - A sudden tree or standing stone
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^ ^

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!

Okay, I've got my guest room all cleaned up for company coming Friday. I had started using that room for the boxes I keep the paraphenalia to do up troop supply packages. Boxes, tape, ziplocks, cases of soap and shampoo, filler items etc. Now, it's all in the den floor again.

But, the room is clean and ready for company!

My friend Marty. She works at the sherrif's office in the county I grew up in. She's leaving when her shift is over at midnight Thursday/Friday and driving straight here. About a 4-1/2 hour drive. I told her I'd leave the door open for her so she could just come in and go to bed cause I don't wanna get up at 4:30 AM!!! Her bed has clean sheets and is ready for her now. So, I SURE don't have to get up!

What, just for the fun of frightening it? ;~D

Absolutely! It's hilarious to watch one freeze up, topple over, and then get back up as if nothing had happened.

One thing, I wish that somewhere in the movie, someone would have said "I give you joy." ME TOO I love that phrase so much now. Have also been trying to gather up certain descriptive phrases Stephen et al use when mad or upset or expressing disgust and disdain for people. I think people nowadays are going to be so taken aback by the lack of cuss words they wont know how to react to getting REALLY reamed by imaginative adjectives!

Yes, you mailed it to me and I gave it to her. Back in February. And I have sent her 2 care packages from us so far. The guys in her group specifically asked for magazines so I sent several in one of the packages.
