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!

Is that a color or a prescription drug?

I keep getting e-mails for that stuff.

There is a curriculum called Considering God's Creation which we have used and like. There are also some other books he may enjoy:

Gallileo For Kids
Planet Earth
Dragons of the Deep
Exploring Creation with Zoology 1: Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day
Exploring Creation with Botany, Textbook (this is a complete science series, botany is only one topic in the series)
It Couldn't Just Happen: Fascinating Facts About God's World
Dinosaurs By Design
Mystery of History (textbook)
Story of the World Vol 1 (this is also a popular homeschool curriculum)
The Answers Book


The next two either don't discuss creation in depth or only mention Big Bang briefly:

Extreme Reader: Space Mysteries
Don't know Much About Space

Just did the local scout camp several years.

That qualifies you to be a consultant on my Nano story this year. (if you would, please...)

Reds, orange, yellow. But mostly celedon.

Sounds lovely! I'll try to coordinate, but not neccessarily go matchey-matchey.

Next question: Have you registered anywhere? (or, are you planning to?)

Thanks for all the suggestions. We're mostly looking for books he can read on is own as opposed to curriculum...so far anyways.

There ~are~ two of them. But they must never be separated.

Yes, just imagine...

I already told you I'd cry if you missed the plane... or at least try... anyway I'd be in a really lousy mood. ;-)

Okay, I've put this off far too long. Had to deliver Virginia history and political lessons this morning.

Now I need to get outside and get to work.

See y'all later.

Hanging at the airport. Girl across the room has a Fruba messenger bag.

Ug, need caffeine.
ug, CNN at the airport is about to drive me nuts. Every time I think the negative hype about the MSM might be overly bad I catch a listen or a look and get reminded it is actually worse.

Heh...and CNN is quite tame compared to, say, NPR. It'll cure low blood pressure in seconds.

Stinks because they actually *do* have some interesting programs, but if I catch any of their news or discussion shows by mistake - ack!

Good morning!

Items on the agenda for today: go to Tar-zhay or some such place for fans (box or otherwise), go to the library, mow the back yard, do the burn barrel thing, relax. We'll see how far on the list I get before skipping to the end.
