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!

Never did make it out there. The coolest scout trip was the 50 miler by canoes we did up in Boundary Waters. We did that as a family also (either the year before or the year after, I forget). We never had the right time or money to make it to Philmont. My dad went when he was a kid but me and my brother never did. Just did the local scout camp several years.

Hehe... yes... celedon and then late summer flower colors. Reds, orange, yellow. But mostly celedon. The ceremony is indoors and the reception is a picnic in a lovely park. With a giant slide. Heh.

Well, most do, work with a fella that has a lab that will wade just a bit but doesn't care for swimming at all.

Heh... I had one of those :~)

Logan would eventually go, but he'd wade around first if it was real cold... He was not one of those that bound and leap in and make their owners proud :~D

Heh, I'm doing exactly the opposite! Started packing the contents of the hutch and buffet in the dining room today. Gots one done, and fixing to go start the other. Right now I'm trying to get all my Christmas dishes into boxes all together, so I'll know where they are come Christmas!

Oh, celadon with the reds, oranges and yellows will be gorgeous. Seems I've seen that combo before on reproduction colonial era wallpapers. The celadon is the background color and the others are flowers or Jacobean designs.

Will that be the color of the attendant's gowns, too? It's a very popular color in bridal fashions lately. I noticed that when my sister was searching for Mother of the Bride dresses last summer.
