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!

Ooooohh, that does look good.

Oddly enough we are not doing any Labor Day barbeque type activities today. Ugh, I had three hours of shopping horror just now. And I get to take my sister back to school shortly.

Mmmm. I'm fixing to put some chicken on the grill. Found some naan (Indian flat bread) at the grocery store yesterday, so I'll throw that on at the end to warm it up.

I'll consider the possibility that it might still be annoying :~)

OK...

Still watching Jack here. I folded some laundry, but otherwise I've really not accomplished much today. Oh well.

Hey the only things I'll likely accomplish today will be a good score at Zuma, a big turkey meal and nap :~)

We're back home and Becky already has her backpack ready for tomorrow.

I'm still sort of reeling over the death of Steve Irwin. Trini and I would watch his show regularly and we've always spoken of traveling to Australia to visit his zoo one day.

Just tragic and my heart breaks for Terri, Bindy and Bob. What a loss. :-(

Anyway, I'm running in circles here trying to get things done. I need to put in a couple of hours worth of work some time before the end of the day - but I'm in no hurry to get started.

Ramius just left to get a sander. The dining room table project is about to begin. *cue dramatic music*

Eeek! Sander!

I got the mirror and the cabinet back up in the bathroom without knocking a big ol' hole in the drywall. I think I'm doing pretty good.

I see :~) Is it crunchable?

It's pretty good grilled. It's crunchy on the outside and a little squishy on the inside.

Yeah, the table's here. :-)

I won't bother looking for chairs until I know what color the wood is gonna be after he's done with it.
