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!

Hardly a PITA neighbor, hair, sounded reasonable to us. Of course, counter battery fire would also be a reasonable response imho.

Gotta save my ammo, the real war will probably start tonight.

But tonight... I'll be ready... To knock out the animals so I can enjoy myself :~D

I'm sure there must be streams, but does Iowa have any little hills?

My question is, do they have woods? Corn doesn't count :~D

Don't forget that we only have 3 nights worth for the dogs... we must choose wisely. ;~)

I'd come to see that :~D

Actually, when we drove across, I was surprised at how hilly Eastern Kansas is. It wasn't flat till you're halfway across, and then it's flat all the way to Denver.

Well, we can hold off tonight and see... if we have regrets by 10:30, at least we'll appreciate the next nights more, when they are drugged :~)

I liked that part. The SouthEast of Washington is like that. Lots of rolling hills. And wheat.
