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!

Vey cool certificate, Winmag! My nephew, who was a grateful recipient of a Hobbit Hole knife, flew Apaches out of Kandahar. Different squadron, though.

I could always seal the new tile on the wall in the upstairs bathroom, rip up the floor in the downstairs bathroom, or, my never-ending favorite, iron. But, I think I'll just take a nap.

Sounds like a plan! I'm taking a break from packing. 2001: A Space Odyssey just came on the Hi Def channel. It it beautiful in HD, but will still be just as difficult to understand.

A full sized one? Sure, I'd love to have it! If no one else really wants it...

I stopped at the grocery on the way back from church for a few things. Figured I'd get some fruit, and was planning to get grapes since back home they're usually the next cheapest thing to apples.

They cost twice as much as cherries. So I had to get cherries. So sad.

I love Washington...

You'll have to watch Bobby Flay's "Throwdown" on the Food Network this summer. He's the big grilling guy on that Network.

It's cherry season, I think, in Wenatchee and Yakima... they'd be a bargain now.

They're never cheap back home, though.

Guess there just aren't as many cherry growers in the east, and I think grapes are easier to transport. Maybe? Dunno.

I have a question, that I think is a chemistry question.

In the lawn, dog pee kills a spot in the grass... but in the pasture, horse pee makes a green spot. Is that an alkaline/acid thing? and which is which?

Right now the "sale" price for Bing cherries is $3.99 a pound.

I don't have an answer...but I think my lawn could use some horse pee...especially in spots where the dog peed.
