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!

Woo-hoo! A more extended meet-and-greet would be really fun.

Give Sean a hug for me. ;-) Just kidding...but I really did like him, funny looking little guy that he is. He talked fiddle with my little sister and was just so sweet to her - gave her tips and a detailed autograph and such.

I'm kinda bummed that their guitarist left the group, though. He was also very encouraging to us as musicians, and a HUGH part of their sound, IMO. Haven't heard them with the new guitarist yet.

I could post something evil in response to that but I will settle for the number.

Chatsy hobbitses...

Wonder if we'll manage to break 500k by next year or so.

Though...I don't think we're as talkative as we used to be.

You ought to get that looked at :~)

Want to come over tonight sometime before dark and get horse feeding instructions? I'm planning on making it as easy as possible for you, I put three bales of hay out in the paddock for them to pick at. As long as it looks like there's still some out there, you won't have to worry about hay, just grain, and I'll measure all that out for ya.

I know I have not been talkative lately but since I am hardly freeping at work these days I have not been around much.

Oh, yeah? Just remember not to be too evil... you want me to be happy when you get here tomorrow, right?

If you miss the flight again I'll have to come up with some appropriate threat you'll take seriously.

Ugh, between trying not to Freep at work and then my evenings being all full, I just can't post the way I'd like. Hopefully I will post a little bit more shortly.

On the other hand, November is coming up...

I haven't done any good writing in a while, November is always my chance to exercise those creative muscles. Besides it doesn't take that long to write 2k words per day.

Oh - I don't know about you, but I forgot about the drive out to the dog training place. And I'm too sweaty and ripe to go to ~town~ right now...

Sometime next week let's do that.

Well...I didn't ferget, but I figured you'd had other stuff on your plate for tonight so I didn't wanna nag. ;-)

I'd like to go at some point, though.

I'm going to hit the hay early tonight what with getting up at six to go run. I'll see you lunch-ish time. Be there or else.
