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!

I'm trying to decide if it's worth ordering some books I've been wanting...or if I might as well wait to read 'em and talk to the authors on the other side. ;-)

That's the rumor. ;-) And me with nothing to wear...

Did you retrieve your cat?

Yeah - we just went and got him.

He's a real pain in the rear. :~) But at least we know where he is.

It's just a bit ridiculous. Not that he's any trouble, but...

He was planning to spend his final hours tryin' to sneak in the door.

Maybe that's why he sticks around. He's curious what the inside of this place is like, and he's willing to spend alllll kinds of time waiting for an opportunity.

A nasty old carpet?

But half the time he lays on the sidewalk part of the front path.

I don't understand cats sometimes.

Meanwhile, Tam is trying to tear the doors off the cabinet because I used bleach in the kitchen tonight and he LOVES bleach and wants to get at the bottle while it still smells strong.

I don't get him, either.

He should be inside by dark, or he'll spend his last hours being the great last meal for a pack of coyotes.

I'm sure there's some explanation.

I'm not sure I want to know what it is.

I'd never even heard of SAAB until 1972. My sister and I rode up to Rhode Island with my Aunt Mary Ann and her 7 kids to to visit her sister and family. As we drove through CT we must have gone by the SAAB offices because that word was on the side of the building. It was years before I found out what exactly it was.

And, as we wait for the nukes to pop over Tel Aviv, Haifa, Damascus and Tehran, you may want to take the Islamophobe Test.

For those that pray...don't stop.
