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!

Good Morning - back from the dogpark, gypsygirl had a great time and is now calm, cool and collected. The weather is pretty incredible - 68 degrees, wow, that was simply wonderful sleeping weather.

One more cuppa coffee and then off for a couple errands, won't have to go far but I think most folks headed for the Lake, judging by the lack of traffic.

Lately I wake up at six, no matter what. Least I went to bed early last night.

What time is company arriving? :-)

About noon - or a little before. Jessie's going to arrive at noon too, expecting to go to the corn maze. :~)

Giving ninja stars as a wedding present, not at all tacky.

Hunting someone down to kill them with the stars they gave you, tacky.
