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!

Somehow it doesn't sound like something you'd find at Rivendell, though.

I don't think elves know how to fry.

Did you notice all the piles of dirt the store owner's got piled between my place and the store? Extra dirt from where he's been digging, most of it looks fairly free of rocks. If you've still got holes and spots to level, you ought to come get it.

So I decided not to put in the second disc. Now I just need to convince myself to go to bed.

It involves getting up and actually going upstairs. I think I know how Sam feels...

Good morning...

I'm off later to visit extended family. WK was supposed to join me but couldn't get the weekend off. We're just glad she's working.

Next weekend I'm taking her up to Mom's.

Beautiful sunny Saturday here. I just hope we don't use all our good weather now and have none in two weeks.

As dry as it's been, I'm glad to have a cool rainy weekend.

Do you have a contingency plan for if it rains?

It's in a pavilion so basically the contingency plan is 'stay under cover'.

Pavilion. Good idea. But then again, if it starts raining, you'll have your excuse for cutting out early. :)

We got 1.2" overnight, it's drizzling here, too. OB is down in the basement and I'm getting ready to repair a small mechanical device. Replacement pieces arrived yesterday.

Gypsy's walk has been postponed until the rain stops; she's not very happy, but would be less so if she got wet. Her 'day of beauty' is scheduled for Monday.

Miss Cat is taking her morning nap on the couch. As soon as I finish my second cuppa, I'll go make my shopping list for painting supplies. I'm going to start on the bathroom today...painting it "Summer Lily."
