The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

Posted on 03/15/2004 1:45:41 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

But not yet weary are our feet...

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!

I love your bouquet with the long trailers hanging down....

You could use some of those hangy down flowers that are in your headpiece!

Yeah - something like that... I like the shape of 2Js.. with more casual kinds of flowers like those hangy down flowers, carnations and such... sortof a wildflower look. My wedding isn't formal enough for roses that dressy!

Here I am coming down the staircase (imagine "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" playing...I hired a pianist)...I glanced over and saw Steve standing at the front and this is what I did...the photographer caught it!

Steve said that when he saw me coming down the stairs he thought "This is what it's like to go "all out"...meaning he knew I had done the best I could to have the nicest wedding possible. It was small, but very nice. Extremely formal.

Steve cried through the whole thing.

And here we are, cutting the cake...you can see the cake was very small, but very nice, almond flavored, with almond buttercream frosting. Had real flowers...

I think Steve thought this part was silly...

Thanks! I'm content.

Jar Jar took a 2 week break...got real broody, sat all day trying to hatch out the marble eggs. I finally took the marble eggs out and after a couple of days of mourning, she started laying again. So we're back to 3-4 eggs a day.
