The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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'm bored too. I just want to go home and install the nifty curtain holdbacks I got. And make measurements for a slipcover for the couch.

As long as it doesn't require a new prescription.

I'm waiting to hear back from my friend... we either are going to do a late lunch or an early dinner. She got herself engaged over the weekend so we've got a lot to talk about.

I'm not going to feel oldmaid-ish until my sibs start getting married...

It wasn't until after I accepted my old maidhood that I ran into Big'ol. Just when I start to feel good about myself for being who I am, someone comes along and made me feel better.

My last year of college was vey depressing - all my pals were only after their MRS. degrees.

Hrm...

I made a short to-do list. Did it. and now I'm bored.

(I have more to do, I just didn't put it on the list!)

I think I dropped out of the MRS. degree program.

I'm not after an MRS. But I grew up with this slightly off-mainstream idea of when you're supposed to do things like marriage and children. I'm waiting but... I'm kind of happy with the person I am now. I think I'm an adult, more or less. I've proved whatever it is I needed to prove to myself about being independent... so now it feels like I'm waiting. Not like I think about it all the time but I am ready to start looking.

Hope she doesn't ask me to be a bridesmaid because I don't think I can make her wedding... she's getting married over New Years' and I want to be at home then.

Well it didn't help being on the 5-yr plan due to a major change in majors. Not only had most of my friends married themselves off, they had *graduated* too! Ack. The inhumanity.

I swear, the weather system is bipolar...no pun intended.

News reports just said...

"It's not a drought...yet" and then said

"It's odd to have four named systems so early in the season."
