Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Tree and flower and leaf and grass
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 kinda doubt anyone will ever be able to win that challenge. The several pound burger challenges are crazy enough. But that thing's a monster.

Isn't is wild? In the field out here by the bank the bluebonnets are blooming again. All this rain has 'em thinking it is Spring time again.
U & Rose wave and say HI when you float by...

I just read about Luke's teacher, who died this week. God Bless her family. What was her first name? I'll add her and the family to our Parish Prayer line. Dittos on your s-i-l.
Too late to pray for the ladies in Slovakia; I guess they're home by now. Hope Mrs. Stormhands had a good trip.

My surprise birthday present -Steve came home today. I chatted on line with him this morning and assumed he was in Iraq - and we all know what happens when we assume!Turned out he was at home when we were chatting on line. I was out and about around noon today when Steve's brother called me from my house and said he and Steve's wife Crystal were here with a cake for me, so naturally I hurried home for triple choclate cake (Who wouldn't?) When I got home Steve was here too! He's just on leave however and has to go back in 15 days but it's been a great birthday!
First picture is of Steve and me and the cake
This is Steve's brother Danny (ironman73) Old graybeard in the middle and Steve on the right
Steve and Crystal
and if all this HTML comes out ok I'll be shocked
