The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Though we pass them by today...
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! |

Mornin' folks!
As usual, I'm completely bogged down with work but popped in real quick to say "HI!".
Hair - be careful with the weird lady. Hope she never shows up since Homer really belongs to you and ecurbh now anyway. ;-D
And all these pics make me wanna cry! It seems like ages since we last mooted. *snif*
The weather is gorgeous today, BTW. 70s, sunny and breezy!

What became of the UHaul truck on the sidewalk in Miami yesterday?

I'll have you know I got in trouble last night when I was caught cheering for VT.
Apparently, they are arch-enemies of UM and rooting for them is the equivalent of rooting for the devil. *grin*

What a bizarre story!
Ed Griffith, the state attorney's spokesman, said the man, who appeared to be animated, entered the building...
he appeared to be animated?

word for the day:
recidivism
This ten cent word I have not had the occasion to use since I learned in in college, until today... in Bible study, no less.

That's cause we whupped up on 'em and took the
ACC Championship.
It was pretty cool, the two new teams in the conference fightin' it out for the Championship...and a place in BCS Bowl Series.
To: Corin Stormhands
Whupped...another good word. I had cause to use it in my story yesterday. Word doesn't like it, but I decided it was worth living on the edge for...
I'm such a rebel.

To: Corin Stormhands
I see! So ~that's~ why my cheers for VT were resoundingly deplored by everyone.
Oops! *grin*

Parole Officer: "Recidivism. REPEAT-OFFENDER. Not a pretty name is it, Hi?"
Hi: "No sir, that's one bonehead name, but that ain't me any more"
Parole Officer: "You're not just telling us what we want to hear, are you?"
Hi: "No sir, no way"
Parole Officer: "Because we just want to hear the truth . . ."
Hi: "Well, then I guess I AM telling you what you want to hear"
Parole Officer: "BOY, DIDNT WE JUST TELL YOU NOT TO DO THAT??"
Hi: "Yessir!"
Parole Officer: "OK, then."

I will be forever in my debt to Bernanrd Hill, those nameless riders, and the smarts of Peter Jackson to know a good thing when he sees it, for giving us that moving scene.It is one of my favorites, too.

No ice today - woo-hoo!I'm hearing ice and snow for late Wed. early Thursday. Bah! Clare has a class that lasts only two weeks, and the teacher told them today that the school doesn't like to cancel any of those classes. YIKES! I'm hoping they'll at least delay the start to give the plows and sanders time to clear the hill that is the school's driveway! ;o)
