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

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! |

I hate it you're feeling under the weather again...
I agree, you need to see an allergist.

Good morning, sir!
I'm on my second day of 1/6th decaf coffee. I woke up at 7am with a splitting headache. Took some ibuprofen and went back to sleep till 9am. Only woke up because Joshua was climbing in with me.

Is there even such a thing as painted wood-plank floors?

I have tried giving caffeine up a time or two but it never took. I managed to give up soda entirely so I don't feel bad about still having the hot tea 'vice'. Coffee on the other hand has a heck of a lot more in it. You might try switching to hot tea. It is easy to make it strong or weak. When it is weak it really does not have that much caffeine. I have not liked the decaf teas I have tried but I am picky about what I drink (never could stomach diet stuff).
I can think of worse ways to wake than having the kids jump in bed :)

Painted???? Why the heck would you want to? I am sure someone some where has done that but it seems such a waste.
To: TalonDJ
I know it...it's so nice. I turned my hand into a puppet named "Bran Flakes" and he visited with Bran Flakes for a while.

Got a new pair of running shoes yesterday and thereby removed one of my excuses for not going to the gym. Now that spring is starting to get here I am trying to get back on a 'upswing' in the cycle of fit/unfit.
To: TalonDJ
Besides, it's just planks...not nice wood flooring. Just like 1x6's. Painted white.

I would think the paint would wear off fast enough that it would never look that good. Stain on the other hand is mostly transparent so the places that are worn are invisible.
To: 2Jedismom
Is there even such a thing as painted wood-plank floors?Oh, yeah! It's all the rage in 'country decorating'. Folks will do that if the finish on the old wood floors in the home they buy is in poor shape. Some will do it with brand new floors, just to get the look they want. It looks nice, when done well.

I would think a porch paint with a polyurethane coat would work...the scuffing would just add to the attraction.
I've been thinking about it and I remember now where I saw this before...it's not just pulled out of thin air like I thought at first! I witnessed this years ago...and I mean many years ago, when I was first going to school back in the early 80s...LVN school. I was living with a Mexican family and they took me to see their tia...'aunt'. She lived in what I considered to be horrible conditions at the time...cooking at a wood stove, the floor was planks painted white and you could actually see the ground under them. She was cooking tortillas. I remember just being appalled at the poverty.
But the kids were just running in and out of that house happy as clams.
So, I guess I've been taking the things I like from that scenario and applying them to me. I liked the floor, but not the dirty under it. I liked the wood stove, but not the tiny area. I liked the screen door slamming. Heck, there were chickens outside that door even!
That was a pretty happy and peaceful time in my life.

I'm going to die now.
I'd like to be creamated and my ashes thrown on the compost pile.

Heh!! I swear, I have not thought about that visit to Tia's house in YEARS...probably never since I met Steve and got married.

Man... hang in there. It's just not right that you've been ill so often this season.
