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!

So you like the idea?

Oklahoma has some pretty good wines, from what I understand...but I've never had any because it's more expensive than I'm willing to pay and wine in a bottle never tastes good after a while...it has to be consumed pretty much right then when you open it. And I sure can't drink a whole bottle of wine by myself.

Why does this not surprise me?

My cats, on the other hand, are completely sane.

You know... having met both sets of cats... I have to say Talon's are much less warped than yours.

Back from the hair trial run. Now we get to carpet clean for the rest of the weekend.

I don't like Lil'Freeper is flying in for the wedding - sheesh, it would take longer to deal with airport nonsense than just to drive up!

Policy question.... for the next thread, which will be the Jen and Talon wedding edition, should I just (a) use the next line in the verse... (b) skip to the ~last~ line in the verse... or (c) Forget the verse and make a nice appropriate title?

That beer will make your back feel better. ;o)

We had a cool, cloudy day here. I think Ernesto was somewhere nearby, but it never started raining. I painted the ceilings in the kids' bath and laundry room, then Clare's bedroom wall. I'm hoping I can get away with only one coat in there. Next is the laundry wall, then the trim in the bathroom and laundry. Gots a LOT to do before we can put the house on the market.
