The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home ahead

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!

It's noon-thirty on the right coast.

Nobody forced you to move.

Just got beck from Home Depot...I'm now the proud owner of a charcoal chimney. I got some lettuce seeds for half-price. What are my chances of having a good fall garden? :)

Kewl!

I should get some chicken out of the freezer to do tomorrow or Monday...

I'm off to the library and stuff. Then I really should mow...though I have to attempt to fix the mower again first. I hit a hugh rock just as I was finishing last time and the blade is twisted. *sigh*

Snapfish worked really well for our greeting cards, and it was cheap... and they mailed them really fast.

*applause* I love it when a plan comes together.

We need to set an official time zone for the Hobbit Hole. ;-)

Heh, wow. Glad it worked out.

Back from lunch with my sisters... debating whether to start work on assembling invitations or wait until Mom gets back. Probably I'll wait, she knows where the rotary cutter is.

Wife grilled chicken legs the other night. Found a tasty recipe to rub on 'em and grill 'em. Cheap and tasty too.

So for the morning wrap up...

Solved the August crisis for Nana, Jr. and Luke.

Ordered two sets of notecards for the Mrs' upcoming birthday (July 19).

Got dishes and laundry in.

And managed to get into two and a half arguments on FR.

Now I need to get up and actually get some work done.

I wish The Mayor had a program for drought gardens.

Never fear--our channel 5 weatherweeniess told the viewers that there will be a severe thunderstorm hitting Kansas City at 3:00 Sunday afternoon. I snickered. This woman loves to give forecasts 30 hours out. Frequently, she is wrong.

I caved in, too.

Just grieves my spirit to see repeated hogwash and rock throwing at someone who Loves God; Loves People and does it way more Biblically than most famous sorts I know of.

It's not *entirely* my fault...

I think I just need a new blade, which means finding the socket wrench. I still have that over here, don't I?

Perhaps I should have said BEYOND REAL?

It was a compliment.

Her weather beetle must be on the fritz.

Got the lawn mowed. Guess I should go out and kill some bugs now.

Actually, I think we have the socket back over here... If you come over to get it though... you have all our hammers. Have we still got other buckets of tools over there? :~D
