The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

Hi folks!

WN - it's so nice to have you back with us, sis.

Extra prayers goin' up and out for Florida folks. Our mayor just announced that schools may be closed tomorrow for shelter use.

We don't know where it's gonna hit yet, but Miami isn't out of the woods. *sigh* I'm terrified. Truly terrified.

I didn't have children to worry about when Andrew came through back in 92. I've run all of my payrolls for today and all of Mondays payrolls are running tomorrow just to be sure.

Wow. Looking at those images, I wonder if the Lord's return is sooner than we think it is.

We cannot get out (no LOTR pun intended).

I'd have to leave today if'n I wanted to get somewhere, but I have to work tomorrow and can't risk not showing up and then Frances doesn't hit and I get fired.

only if I can bring bitty girl!

Frankly, I have not taken a spontaneous road trip in almost a year. Mebbe I need to get PE out of the house this weekend and take a trip (other than the family reunion we already have planned for Saturday).

You are compassed and encased in prayers. Surrounded by angels and supported in His strong right hand!

For me, part of the fascination is seeing the same "boring" places in an entirely new state - I'm odd that way. But we do have lots of hills and trees and rocks and stuff...never truly boring!

It's gorgeous here...
