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!

Perfect occupation, and their cousin, Lobelia, could pop into the the story from time to time.

He's a bird dog, g'nad. I hope you like him better than you like chickens. :~)

What happened to the other shepherd?

OK - If you're going to keep the chickens cooped :~D You might need two layers of fencing with a demilitarized zone in the middle so he can't run the perimeter and keep them in a constant state of being freaked out.

Did Ginger have some kind of issue that cropped up that made her incompatible? I don't remember you saying.

I like gun dog names that are about guns :~D "Gunner" is always a good lab name, as a matter of fact. I always wanted a pair of labs named "Smith" and "Wesson". But those names only work if there's two.

Oh - that's right. It was the one with the bad hips that was good about the chickens. I remember now.

Hey... Just the usual pandemonium here... :-) figuring out what to do with the day. Looks like a trip to Office Depot is in order. Beyond that... I've got no idea what's going on. :-)

Will try to get some pics up.

He does look like he has a little chocolate undercoat. Logan did too... he had a chocolate grandparent, and had a little hint of red in the sun.
