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!

You need to stop with the threats for not showing up on time....

Heavy fog here. The 9:32 out was cancelled. My new ETA is 3:41.

I just talked to dad, and will be heading up there in about 30 minutes - His suggestion is to put Josie in the shop, she likes it in there and can get away from the dogs.

Sounds like a plan. Is he heading there in 30 or are you?

I feel guilty about displacing poor Josiegirl, but she'll appreciate it later.

We decided on Tricksey once we laid eyes on her again, but it was Ramius' idea on the spelling.

A stroke of brilliance, that!

It's awfully soupy out. Oh well....no grass mowing today! :)

Now that that hot spell is over (knock on wod) my squash are starting to grow again. I had little baby squash about 2 inches long that just sat that way for a few weeks. Hopefully they'll be ready to pick by the middle of the week.

Think I'll try to grow lettuce in thesunroom this fall/winter. The collards and turnips that I planted last week are already up!

Nope. Still waiting in Cedar Rapids. I fly out at 11:15. A group of Japanese students just showed up to wait for this flight. It is interesting how much I can make out even though I don't speak much.

Oh my goodness, I agree wholeheartedly with Corin!! That is one gorgeous poocharooski!!

I find it amazing that you AND Rosie were able to find such fine specimens at a pound!!

I'd like a poodle, you know...hmmm...

We're off to Spring Creek here in a bit...Steve's mowing the front yard so I am sneak freepin'.

Oh...I got my hair cut. SHORT!!! Shortshortshort!! It was falling out again (remember how it did a while back?) and it was just making a hugh mess...I'm talking great wads of hair EVERYWHERE. Well, there's two-thirds less of it to make a mess now!

Heh....I got mine cut short a couple of weeks ago. It's pretty bad when you're outshedding the cat.

I just washed all the exterior windows. I need to start the grand windows scrape-caulk-paint project sometime soon...when it's not so hot on the weekends.

Heh...I was just thinking "I hope it cools off enough for us to straighten up the back yard 'fore OT gets here!" We manage to keep the front and side of the house nice, but the back, behind the fence, is a wreck...limbs all over, grass needs mowed, weeds in the garden. Just too hot to mess with it!

Heya. Got in about 1:30 am from NM. The trip was uneventful. I had a couple hours to kill before catching the plane so I stopped into one of the Luchesse outlet stores in El Paso. They make boots. They make the most beeeeeeautiful ultra high-end designer boots.

I found a nice pair of black alligator leather. "Oooooooh, purty", thought I. I looked at the tag. And - I KID YOU NOT - they were $5,700. !!!!! But they were on sale for $3,700. !!!!!

So I hd to try them on. Heh.

I need to mow too. Guess I'd better start looking for a lawn service or someone to do the core aerating this fall.

An investment, I guess.
