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! |
|

Hmmm.... I like the idea of being a mystic, but I'm a little off-put by the name Smellingham. :~)

They look like this, this was one that I nearly ran over in the pasture mowing awhile back. We don't see them very often so I took it's picture.

Corin, I'm lots younger than Nana, and I occasionally get my meds confused.
Hopefully she'll feel more like eating now.
Not eating is a bad path to start down.

Yeah, she asked sister not to say anything. Guess she thought she'd get it straightened out.This could have been a major health issue, sister should have said something.
I'm sorry this is taking such a toll on y'all. I know how my sisters felt dealing with Mama.

Yeah, it may have just been a bad week with the pain episode and all the pain meds she took. In fact, not taking her other stuff could have contributed to that initial episode.
Letting her manage the meds was a matter of letting her feel like she still had some responsibility. Maybe getting back on track will help even things out.

Well, we'll let you think it through. You would be either Vidalia or Viburnum, one of the "horticulture" (if you get my drift) sisters. But they don't get a big role.
I've been reading/editing my story from last year. It's still crap. But I think it's a workable story.
(I forget, am I supposed to cry for Boromir?)

Yes, you can cry for Boromir.

You made a kick-@$$ renegade sister last year.
No tears for Boromir tonight, but the "I made a promise Mr. Frodo..." still chokes me up after all these times.
I'm taking Luke to King's Dominion tomorrow. Not sure if the wife is going. Depends on Nana. But we got "family appreciation" passes because Jr. is working there.
g'nite

Did he look like this?
(Such a fetching picture, I had to post it!)
Or was he more like one of these guys?
Apparently, Washington State hosts alligator lizards, skinks, and horned lizards ... what we here in Texas call "horned toads." (A real Texas drawl stretches the word "horned" out to two syllables: HORR-ned.)

These little guys eat bugs, including black widows. They're called "alligator" lizards because they look like the big guys, and will even go into a death spin when they catch prey.
Geek mode off, for now.

I just got an update on my friend David who was in the bike accident last Sunday.
The CT scan on Friday showed that the damaged brain tissue is dead. The doctor said he may never wake from the coma, and if he does he will be blind and unable to speak and walk.
Needless to say, I'm a little stuned.
Prayers appreciated for David and family.

I got another 2.something inches. It's still dripping.

Corin; We're 'stuned' as well; prayers for David and his family, OB & LSA

You've been getting a bit more rain that us, seems to be the pattern this time around. It's a shame the grass is too wet to cut. :-)
