The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

That's going to be quite something! How long will it take to get done?

We'll keep praying on the job stuff for you. What with Rosie and Rose both getting their job stuff settled, looks like we're good at getting answers!

The barn looks like it's gonna be great. Yeah, having equipment out of the weather is a good thing. Are you gonna put a garage door on it?

Dang, that's long shop, 15 yds - set up a deer target and let the young 'uns loose; not to mention the growed ups. Perfect for draw-point-multiples practice as well.

So you are. I thought you'd be out putting underwear on your vegetables like some of those posts earlier today were suggesting.... ;-)
