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!

It's sad -- wild animals are hard to care for.

A termite walks into a saloon and says, "Is the bar tender here?"

Does that thing have a 'cold shower' setting?
Might need it in a few days...

Well, she can just sit there thinking pure thoughts while he snatches her kid, but excuse me...I gotta put a boot in his ass.

Heh...you're the greatest 2J

G'nad and I spent 3 hours putting up a hotwire fence around the garden...deer have been eating the heck out of the beans and lettuce...not anymore. We put up four strands...it better work. G'nad was testing it and it didn't seem to be working. We took about 30 minutes to go over all the connections and then he knelt down and tested it again. Heh...all this time it had been working but he had on his good combat boots with rubber sole. :-) I'm just glad I didn't volunteer to touch it since it "wasn't working".

A Teepee, a wigwam, and a mansion walk into a bar. The teepee says "drinks are on the house".

We can just take brothers with us everywhere.

Or just try to behave... sort of... a little...

I think my browser must be broken. I see two sentences in your post but neither one makes any sense.

Ah... that would work... we might have to be a little more talky than we have been lately until September. After September I'm thinking my post count might drop even more.

Decalfinated.

Mmmm... can't wait to have squash. I brought in the last of the turnips today. No luck on the japanese beetles drowning. They were out buzzing around as soon as the sun came out.

There was a zo' prof at my university that would give people extra credit if they brought in dead squirrels. He did population distribution studies. All sorts of fun things like that go on in the bio dept.

I just noticed this is a new thread.

Alas, it has been that kind of day.

Sorry to hear that. Do you get the long weekend off, at least?
