The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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!

Does appear we'd be going through Iowa, though I'm not sure if it's the right part of the state. There's also the trouble that we wouldn't have a REAL clear view on time, but if we planned on stopping in such and such a town for the night, that might work...

Oh, hush.

At least I don't have to ask for an explanation of that picture, though.

My second loaf of bread did good! I've never had such results in the machine!

Mm...bread.

I'll have to do a lot of baking for the three weeks or so that I'll be living at home! I don't bake as much as I'd like to just because it's only me, but I can sure take advantage of having people to feed. ;-)

At Entmoot, WN did some baking right there. Really good bread. I think it lasted about five minutes. ;-)

Maybe could make the dough ahead and then we could bake it there? There's nothing like fresh baked bread!

Don't remember if I told you about this or not, but there is a book (series) that makes a great supplement to any curriculum (and IMHO can be used as the core curriculum if you want) by E. D. Hirsch. There is one for each grade level, What Your Kindergartener Needs to Know is the first one. He also wrote the book called Cultural Literacy. You can get the books at places like SAMS or Mardel's.

http://www.coreknowledge.org/

Then there is also A Well Trained Mind which I think is also very good.

I could bring the whole machine and just keep it going all the time! LOL That way I could let the machine do the work and I won't be distracted from visiting!

I can't wait!

I can't wait till we get our income tax return and pay off Steve's school!

I just have so much to look forward to right now!

Ah, baking... I wish I weren't on atkins, cooking's just not as satisfying.
