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!

And I'm only broke ;-)

Getting calls from recruiters wanting to talk to me about jobs... in Milwaukee. He said "you could drive back on weekends" when I told him I was only interested in jobs in Cedar Rapids. So I laughed at him.

Understand this, things are now in motion that cannot be undone.

The pets are outside digging up the yard after our mole, which I applaud, if they actually get the mole in the process. I've promised a steak dinner to whoever catches it.

However, I fear I'm going to end up with a dug up yard, a live mole, and eating my own steak :~)

Steak is good. Do you think the monsters would be interested in the chipmunk who's living in my planter box?

*Sigh* Just dropped Miss Kitty off at her home-away-from-home. She's not too happy with me.

You own Miss Kitty might be interested. Mine aren't allowed to get squirrels.

Your trip down to OK is this weekend?

No. This is the Family Reunion trip back home.

The OK trip is a couple of weeks away. She'll need to be boarded then too. Poor Kitty!

I've got laundry and packing to do. Guess I need to go study the TSA guidelines.

I miss my cat!

So glad I'm not flying anytime soon.

Fidget... fidget... fidget.... I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue.
