Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
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! |

Hm...maybe it was leaving off the "molasses" that doomed me in the past? I did try Dusty Miller cookies.

Well you said molasses was a major component. With Google, the more terms the better. Plus putting the name in quotes cuts down on missed hits.
Think I will take the 1:15 bus home... are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I think so, Brain...but what if the cow doesn't *like* wearing a three-piece suit?

Hi my first post here lol. I been told a lot of sci-fi and fantasy fans hang out here.
To: Paul_Denton; JenB; Bear_in_RoseBear; All
We have a few here, yes! Welcome....
We started out mostly interested in the LoTR movies, and have become a group of friends that talk about most anything.... including other fantasy and sci-fi stuff.

Cool. I am currently writing a novel. Sci-fi. I just reached the 100 page mark yesterday.

Well welcome!
There are others here who aspire to write... They may try to suck you into the NaNoWriMo thing. Beware, it's a cult ;~D
I'd just like to see them stop talking about cookies... they're making me hungry. :~D

Hi, and welcome! Yes, lots of us here are fans of SF or Fantasy or both.
And some of us have no interest in either, beyond the LOTR novels and/or movies.
It's a spectrum...

It *is* a lot of fun...though we spend the month of November driving the rest of the Hole crazy with discussion of implausible plots, irritating characters, and word count.
That's just until the rest of 'em get sucked in, of course. Every year, one or two more join the cult. Um...I mean...the club. Bwahahah...

"Jayne, the man they call Jayne"
We just howled during the movie when they're all getting ready to fight off the Reavers, and someone says "We probably won't survive", Jayne gets that 'puppy dog' look on his face and says with a whine, "I might".
We gotta go back and see the movie next week when Paul is home on school break. Then we'll take SirKit with us when it comes on at the beer and burgers theater.

Hey, the grocery down the street had ground round on sale for $1.89 a pound! 90% lean, at that! DANG! That's a great price! I don't know if I have room in my big freezer to store 30 lbs. of ground beef, but if I did, I'd certainly stock up!

We're gonna go see it again after we've seen the show.
And maybe again a few weeks after that.

I'd only ever heard of 'Dusty Miller' as a plant that has sort of silver lacy leaves.

NaNo is very cool. I am the Unofficial Hobbit-Hole NaNoWriMo Cheerleader. I've done it the last three years and it's very fun.

Hey there Hair - thanks for the ping!
My apologies to everyone for being so remiss in keeping up with y'all. We've started our homeschooling and its been a bit bumpy as far as scheduling is concerned. First it was me not being able to find all my source material to start off full blast, then it was that little storm that looked like it was gunning right for us. Now we are on a regular track and things are going pretty well, although I am still behind in planning daily exercises, and the WTM notebook we are supposed to be working on is proving to be a bit more intensive than I had thought (we are adjusting though). So far though, Erin and I are having a grand old time. We are trying to finish up material on ancient Sumeria and erin is chomping at the bit to get into ancient Egypt, but I am having to hold back back so we can get down the system as its spelled out in WTM.
Hope all is well with everyone else!!

That was a great bit!
Jayne is actually my middle name. I'm still having some issues with a dude being named that... especially that dude.
